The first step is to choose an image from your computer’s hard drive. Open the Image menu and choose the draw image option. Choose the draw option so that the image you are drawing is drawn as an image. After selecting an image you want to use as your frame in your animation, go to the draw over bar and click on the create frame option so that your image is drawn as a frame in the animation.
After you have finished drawing your frame in, go to the layers palette and click on the create sub-palette option. This will bring up a new sub palette for your animation. From here you can select which images you want to animate. If you want to animate only one or two frames in your animation, you should choose a frame that has the minimum number of frames (the first two to be exact) in the layers palette. You can also select a frame in your layers palette that you want to use as the private layer so that you can do the private editing of your animation and not have the layers palette visible in your animation.

To do this, go to the draw option in the main menu and click on create new action. A pop up will appear and give you options to choose the duration and delay for your action. After you have done that, you are now ready to animate on Procreate!
