Made with Procreate. Never really had an interest in doing animation or video generally, but I kept seeing this "squigglevision" (aka boiling lines) style of character art around, and felt like trying it. You just redraw the same figure a couple times, tracing back over the first image, but making sure the lines are slightly off, and set an animation loop. I think there's a technique to doing it just right, and varying the line wiggle in specific spots to get the ideal boiling effect, but these are just some sloppy first attempts. It's kinda fun, does give a little more life to a sketch, but it's a effect best use for very simple cartoony models.
Several art programs have animation tools built in, but I just never tried them before. Doesn't seem so hard to use for at least short clips, but I imagine a full animation attempt must be a total nightmare. Even this quick slap up really emphasizes how much more work goes into a couple frames, and I'm not even trying to simulate motion or separate elements yet! Imagine trying to do squigglevision while also having synchronized lip movements for speech? No wonder you need teams of people doing this stuff!
