Grease Pencil journey with Dédouze

Dédouze is known for using Blender to create artworks with a 2D look, close to traditional comics and animes, but mixing 3D and 2D elements. In this talk, he will explain how he uses the Grease Pencil tool to create the imaginary worlds from his dreams, and how this tool made him create artworks that he didn't even expect he would ever be able to create.
He will talk about his personal and professional experimentations, and will show how these experiments led him to new animation styles and workflows that wouldn't be possible with other softwares. Grease Pencil is not just about 2D or 2.5D anymore but something completely new, and there are still so many paths to explore !

Dedouze is one of the most stylish and innovative artists in the Blender community. I'm so happy that he was invited to speak and that we're able to get more insight into his history with the software and his workflow!

Grease Pencil is truly something else. Enhanced with 3D possibilities, simulations and so many ways to animate.
It can really make things A LOT easier for artists!

If it wasn't for dedouze, I wouldn't have known about doing 2.5d art in blender. Good to see that the foundation is noticing more of this small side of the blender community!

This is what inspired me to learn grease pencil. I have not yet animated with it but drawing on it for now has been amazing fun. I even made a Batman dollar video!
