Blender Grease Pencil Head-Turn Part 1: Drawing

In this video, we will see how to construct the basic objects required for the rig, from sketch to a fully rendered Grease Pencil drawing.

This video is one of four, detailing the character’s creation, from sketch to model, to rig and finally covering my animation workflow.

Blender and the world has a new hero: YOU!

[chrisgleason]

This is AMAZING for your first tutorial. I have learned so much from this series. This series has really filled in gaps in grease pencils tutorials with the other tutorials that are out there. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Please keep up the work. I am learning a lot still.

I also really dig your style!

[MrMahokai]

Oh god u are send by heaven, i searched and waited so long for a nice grease pencil tutorial like u did, pls keep going. Thank u so much for this !

Dude, I gotta say, simple things like using the x axis -1 to mirror your drawing is genius to me lmao, I would always change the perspective from front to back if I wanted to reproduce the mirroring effect .

talking slowly and clearly, easy to follow!
you are doing great!! <3 thanks for making these videos, cant wait for the next one

[deelindsay]

Its good to find a tutorial that's easy to understand. Clear and easier to take in than some of the fast talking ones or where English is a second language. Nothing at all wrong with that, just hard to focus on what's being said sometimes rather than the focus on the tutorial. Thank you!!

What I find most amazing about doing this tutorial is that I have to unlearn everything I know about Photoshop and Harmony. Even though the end result and some of the concepts are familiar, the fact is that Blender is a 3D program in spite of the apparent similarities to Photoshop. The end result might be similar but the way to get there and to conceive of it is totally different.
Thank you so much for this!

more precious than a diamond for a blender begginer!

This gives me more hope that I can draw a full scene in blender without a stylus and pad. I'm bad at drawing, but even worse at drawing on a computer with a mouse. I see your cursor moving around as you draw, and can tell it was mouse work. Thank you for this! I almost gave up on my cute little dog cartoon.

Great!! thank you !!! and a very expressive and inspiring character by the way.... thanks

[jarryddorfling]

This is impressive AF, Iv been on blender for years, got the skills then switched off for a bit, now back after like 2 years. Iv barely used grease pencil but dabbled, but these tutorials are maaad good explainers, Just watching this I can completely translate into my own work, Thank you for explaining so clearly.

[tails_the_god]

Blender just continues to amaze me!
Ive been using the grease pencil and it's never been any easier to create 2d characters

[Notmainchannel]

thanks for the tutorial. I shall do miracles with new knowledge

[方エデン]

Thank you for introducing the production process.

I used to be an animator now I am a programmer trying to get back into animation. Great work. You understand blender and I admire you stepping out and doing such an involved tutorial. I learned from your technique. I would like to see some more. You will always have trolls people who are just negative.
