In a digital storytelling class, I had the opportunity to experiment with the portrayal of a narrative poem I wrote into a digital art format. The poem was first peer reviewed by classmates. I then storyboarded the overall flow of the images I planned to use to tell this narrative.

To create a simple animation, I used Procreate digital drawing tools. I duplicated images and drew on top of layers, which helped ease the tedious process of animation. I decided to go with loose shapes and a basic one color background to reflect the simplicity of the poem. I also experimented with the fade ins and outs, as well as the rate at which the text would show up.

I’m hoping to explore the full extent of what Procreate has to offer in the future for more creative work.
