Arteater: create GIFs from hand drawn drawings for free

Create GIFs from hand drawn drawings using Arteater, a free service. To create GIFs, you must photograph your drawings and upload them to the website.

The drawings must be done using particular templates available online. Arteater gives drawing templates that are classified as Beginners, Intermediates, and Advanced based on the amount of frames and other factors.

Each template features 4 corner markers and multiple boxes (loops) for sketching animation frames. Please download and print the templates to draw the animation frames in. After that, you need to snap a photo of the paper on a well-lit surface and send it to Arteater. You may apply various effects to the GIFs during creation. Automatically make and provide a completed GIF in no time.
