Grease pencil beginner tutorial | TOTORO | Blender 3.2

Hello!!! And welcome to my first and longest tutorial! 😂
I've been working on this for a while and I hope this little guide will provide enough resources for new ones into Grease Pencil. This simple animation project covers lots of topics and techniques that you might want to use for own projects. I choose TOTORO because as you might know I'm a big fan of GHIBLI MOVIES but also for working on something that everyone knows (hopefully 😅). Be really creative with it and use these knowledge for building your own workflow (do it even better that me 😆)
Cheers!!! ✌️😊

This is a great Totorial! (Sorry for the dad joke, couldn’t resist 😅)

Most of what I do in Blender is 3D but I'm trying to improve my grease pencil skills as well.

I came across this tutorial today and it is fantastic. Thank you for all of the information.

[engaver]

I've seen so many little things that I didn't know existed or didn't know how to use properly. Thank you so much for this.

[cbubs_art]

Thank you for the easy to follow tutorial! I'm so glad you list the shortcuts as well. Blender is so intimidating, but you made this very easy to understand.

[hesspet]

This is such a wonderful tutorial. I've found it today. And I just watched if for my pleasure. No talk, many things come up I never saw before (or better how things used). Tanks for spending a lot of time to make this video.

[pokk]

Literally i found no other creator who make a tutorial this way....thank you so much.

[MicaelAlighieri]

This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen, it's pure excellence from scratch and the result is incredible, totally faithful to the original.

If stars existed today at YouTube, I'd give it 5... because I wouldn't be able to give it 6!

Excellent job!

Have been using 3D side of Blender for a while but always wanted to try grease pencil. This guide was amazing. Thanks so much!

[MM_Meh]

Really appreciate this tutorial. Literally just finished it right now. My Blue picasso totoro is walking and colored just fine. Thanks a lot.

[queenkaguya]

i didn’t even know you can do this, like the shapes!!???😮 makes it easier to properly trace!!

[musubi-bi]

amazing example and walkthrough, definitely bookmarked. A lot of nice tools and shortcuts were presented in an orderly flow

[asimali]

thank you you deserve a million of likes

for person struggling with filling problem. If you couldn't paint into the character, don't check the any boxes next to the draw mode on the top. And if you show up some color which never expected click the layer on the right top(it might be written as "colors" in the layer) then uncheck the lights on the below.

[kbsvgty]

This was a very detailed and well presented tutorial.

[DrLazerbeam]

Thanks for the video but can I suggest for the future capturing in 1080p as it makes it much easier to read the small texts on blenders UI and if you're not going to talk using music with less big swells as they tended to make me instinctively feel like something important was happening and that I hadn't seen it because I was reading the subtitles or something

[TurnipedHead]

Thanks! the best I have seen! plus a new refreshing style of video making is really pleasant.

[SuperComicAnimation]

Excited to try this out! Will update after!

[Lemony_Lemons]

THANK YOU so much for making this, its great for beginners and SO straight forward, love it. Its really helped me especially for it being one of my first animations, so thank you.

[notname]

thank you, I've never done anything like this and it worked out right away!

[dozenhacker]

One of the best Tutorials I have ever seen. NO talking. Great subtitled instructions. Nothing missing. AND perfect Music! Strauss Walz and Eric Satie Piano just made my day. Thank You!
