Grease Pencil is a breakout success. I want to thank these guys for having such a great forward vision.

I'd be so happy if hand drawn 2D style comes back to big films and 3D studios =D!

[IIIspirit]

I love how such bold experimentation is possible in open source applications, what a great tool this is, wonder if sculpting can get ideas out of it, and use some of the code too

[Zyragonn]

Ive been animating in flash for years and i came into conclusion that it would be nice to just make some half 3d half 2d animating style, and now i found blender! You are my saviours!

I was never able to get into Blender due to its weird UI.. up until the newest 2.8 beta.. OMG! what a lights year of improvement in UX and UI! Congrats Blender team!

This is great because modelling & rigging creates the uncanny valley in human characters & 2D drawing gives everything a stylised effect. Just have to brush up on my drawing techniques & the only limit is my imagination.

[MrDanINSANE]

I hope to see a better brush-engine like in other 2D software, it feels very limited now.
But the idea of 2D inside Blender is still an amazing thing, keep up the good job!❤️

I'm studying Blender 3D in depth, I dropped Maya 3D and I see that the future will be 3D Blender worldwide, not because it is free, but because it has a team that thinks a lot ahead and that makes all the difference for 3D and 2D artists a lot. thank you for freeing me !!!

[gisellemarte]

this is so freaking exciting because I just started learning blender and im inlove!!! I want to learn grease pencil so to combine 2s and 3d together. I love how community based this program is.

[HowIDraw]

So amazing! Like combining hand draw illustrations in a claymation like enviroment. Sign me up!

[mb.d]

yes! an artist dream come true in 2019!! historic

[pushanjoardar]

BLENDER 2.8 is a fantastic software!!!!

[DavidBrown-sphm]

Ive done both 3d and 2d and found limits for each and wanted to combine them myself. Imagine not having to learn warped perspectives without this is just wow

[keshav_p]

U are going to be a major part of the story of many animation companies.. and talented people who couldn't afford much at their age...really a great effort!

Finally! My Vive was waiting for this for a long time (and I can sell my OSVR HDK2 if someone is interested). I bought Gravity Sketch and it has nice features.
Real time lip sync and facial expression while animating are next :)

[Omegawerewolfx]

the environment @16:32 is flat out amazing, the way the reflection changes in the fantastic

[Silvanor]

When traditional 2d drawing page to page evolves to know soon that animation will change forever in the future if it evolves even more.

[FuriousTedyBear]

I feel very proud of myself that I can somehow make out 90% of what he's saying. This when an accent is cool and convenient he sound smart.

my message to blender community:
*don't stop !*

[fioreirving]

This was fantastic! Saw Glen Keane do something like this and I’ve been DYING to try it. Already started yesterday and it works great. I love animating, don’t really care about specialty brushes and all that nonsense. I can animate with a notepad and pencil. This is amazing because it moves in 3d space with a 2d look. Exactly what Keane said is the future of 2d
