Motionline Studio is a 2D drawing app for smart and lazy artists who want animated line art without dealing with frame-by-frame animation.

Just draw like you normally would, then apply an animation style to your drawings or imported images.

Brushes and Animation Styles

In Motionline Studio, brushes and animation styles are completely separate. Draw with any brush, then apply any animation style to your layer. 

Animation Styles

Choose from several animation styles; every layer has its own animation settings, including speed and intensity controls.

Brush Collection

All brushes support pen pressure for size and opacity.

Layers

• Unlimited drawing and image layers
• Layer opacity

Selection Tools

Drawing Tools
