Jumping Meatball
2D Animation
Date
2026
Procreate Dreams has been a blast to learn so far! And with the help of Nikolai Lockertsen’s course, I’ve grown quite a bit in my animation skills.

This animation came out of Lesson 2 where the goal was to create a jumping character with consistent volume, key-framed shadowing, and simple lighting. I then took the final comp into Premiere Pro where I added some sound effects to give this little scene some life.

Ecco fatto!
