Adventures in Procreate Drawings & Animation - Portland, OR 2026

Dive into the dynamic world of digital drawing & animation using the illustration app Procreate. Guided by teaching artist and illustrator Fry, young creators will bring their drawings to life through movement, rhythm, and storytelling. Through a mix of individual projects and collaborative experiments, campers will learn digital illustration techniques, frame-by-frame animation, and simple motion graphics. Along the way, they’ll practice design thinking by developing ideas, storyboarding, testing animations, and refining digital artwork through iteration and feedback. Campers will experiment with visual narratives, character movement, and pacing as they transform sketches into animated scenes. By the end of the week, participants build a small portfolio of digital illustrations and complete a short animated piece to share in a camp showcase for friends and family. Perfect for curious beginners and creative youth ready to level up, this camp empowers young artists to turn imagination into motion and share their stories through digital animation.
