Animated Hot Dog!?

Sometimes, art just needs to be silly and that’s exactly what inspired this little dancing hot dog animation!

I made this short, stop-motion-style animation in Procreate, and it was a blast to experiment with motion, timing, and playful character design. Whether you’re new to animation or just love a good quirky illustration, this video shows how a simple idea can come to life.

Why I Love Short-Form Animations:

• They’re super shareable.

• You can experiment with color, rotation, and motion without committing to a big project.

• Even tiny animations make your illustrations feel alive and fun!

Pro Tip: Try your own 5–10 second animation using a favorite doodle. It’s a great way to practice motion without feeling overwhelmed.
