Doodle Alive
iOS Universel / Education
Doodle Alive introduces the simplest way for everyone, young & old, to create animation from his or her very own drawing in 3 simple steps:
1) Draw a character
2) Tap the Magic Wand to make your character come "alive"
3) Drag the character along the path you want it to move
DONE! The character you sketched will automatically move and follow the path you dragged!
Do you remember when we were children, how much we wished our drawings could come alive and move around? Birds fly to the tree, fishes swim together, kitten, puppy & bunny hop around in your drawing...
While Doodle Alive couldn't make your drawing come really alive, it surely delights you and your kids with a sense of fairy tale magic :-)

=== CLASSROOM FRIENDLY ===
Arts & creativity have always been important in child development. Doodle Alive opens new possibilities because Doodle Alive allows students to easily "rearrange" their drawing, create animation without requiring complicated animation concepts.
Doodle Alive has also been designed with classroom friendliness in mind:
- Colour pens are numbered so that teachers can easily tell students to pick specific colours when needed
- Direct, single layer functions (unless confirmation alerts are needed) allow students to concentrate on creativity or teachers' instructions rather than struggling with complicated operations.
REMARKS:
^Once the current drawing is converted to "moving drawings" with Magic Wand, the moving drawing cannot be edited with Drawing Tools again
^^Once the current drawing is converted to "background drawings" with the Background Tools, the background drawing cannot be erased by Drawing Tools
TIPS:
- Tap once on any moveable drawing to stop it from moving
- If you simply want to move a drawing to another place rather than animating it, tap once immediately after you moved & released the drawing
- You may think of the drawing board as composed of 3 layers:
(i) Moveable drawing on the top layer;
(ii) Editable drawing in the middle layer;
(iii) Fixed background drawing on the bottom layer
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
If you cannot draw anything:
- Check that you are not selecting the eraser
- There may be a moving drawing with very big transparent space occupying the drawing area, try dragging your finger on to the Magic Hat to remove the unwanted moveable drawing
