Ryan Maloney shows how to animate water ripples in Procreate by duplicating a ripple layer three times, using the smudge tool to vary each copy, then enabling Animation Assist at 5-8 fps to create the moving effect.
Great question. The first thing you do is create your full drawing, but keep these ripples on a separate layer. Once you're done with the drawing, duplicate this layer 3 times and grab the smudge tool. And on each layer, just smudge these lines to put them in different spaces or different arrangements on each layer. Then duplicate the entire background, flatten the entire background, and create 3 total layers. Then hit the wrench in Procreate and turn on animation assist. And I set the frame rate to very low, 5 to 8 frames per second, then hit play in the timeline and the water will move for you in Procreate.
