FINALLY!
Why is it so hard to find Animators showing an in depth look into the process of 2d and 3d? WHY!?! So glad I found this guy.

DUDE! THIS IS SO FANTASTIC! TOTALLY accelerating my work flow and helping me stand out in my studio work! Subscribed and liked! Thanks for doing these and making them available!

IMPORTANT NOTE: At 4:38 'DRAW MODE' I do not show the step how to switch to draw mode. To do this, select your grease pencil object, press TAB and select 'DRAW MODE' to begin drawing. Alternatively, change the mode in the top left corner from 'Object mode' to 'Draw mode'

This is by far the most insightful and well made tutorial series for GP. I can’t believe you released this amazing content for free, thank you so much!! The Blender community is full of awesome people like yourself 😊

[noelcastillo]

You are a pioneer in this approach, fantastic!

[chagaze]

i am at 3/6, and frankly your formation is very nice and efficient and totally actual even after 3 years! THANK YOU!

[BjornUltimatum]

Thank you for making this. I've been importing my 3d renders into a 2D software and drawing over the frames. If I can do both my 3D and 2D animation in Blender I'll be able to experiment more and do it all in a free program ^^

Man, blender can be used for pretty much every aspect of the production pipeline

[leonardoromero]

I only have one button on my pencil so I'm having difficulty mapping it to right click/middle mouse... it's on the top and every time I press it the lead falls out.

Thank you so much for uploading this, Mr Storyboards; This series is excellent.

Hi! And thank you for amazing video! I have question for you in 11:41 you can move the grid, i try but it can't move like you? It would appreciate if you answer that thank you

[sauronmanfavs]

I have blender 4.3... but I can't activate the canvas in any way like this great tutorial. I click CANVAS and nothing is seen... why? What did they do to that option or is it a bug in the version?

[bloopboop]

12:32 I have bot fill and stroke selected but it isn't drawing in the same way you are. Are there any other settings that need to be selected to fill in the same manner that you are?

[shamon_in_tent]

sometimes the layer seems to stick back while the linework layer moves through the animation - any idea?

[Cassthetic_Art_Official]

Hey what if you have an XP-Pen tablet? Do i need to change my settings for the tablet as well?

[JECohen]

What is the best way to achieve what you did I really like The flow.
For the 2D part did you draw in the animation flat 2d mode? Free hand?
