- Part 2: • Blender Grease Pencil ...
Hey Everyone, it’s been a while! Here’s part 1 of 2 of my Blender & Grease Pencil Beginner Tutorial. I had been thinking about creating a tutorial for some time and thought to create one based off of 2 videos I did previously. I had a lot of fun creating this video, and got a chance to animate my channel’s avatar! In this tutorial, I walk through the creation of an entire project, starting from the concept. The format is similarly structured to how I edit my design process videos. I wanted to create something helpful and something accessible to everyone of all skill levels. Again, I’m still learning Blender and there’s always awesome updates, but if there’s something I’ve missed or there’s a more efficient way to do something, feel free to mention it in the comments. Hope you guys enjoy!
The tutorial is divided into 2 parts, with this being part 1. Part 2 is scheduled to come out next week. The outline is listed below:

great tutorial, i got stuck adding the outline stroke. The flowers work fine, but the vase and table stroke is applied to, kinda like, the inside of the object. i cant make sense of what is wrong. are my objects inside out or something?
Thank you! Check the solidify modifier on the vase and table and make sure “flip normals” is toggled. And if that doesn't work, go into edit mode, hit "alt + N" and select "flip normals" to do it manually. Hope that helps!
@@kevandram for me only the vase wont work. Instead of an outline it just covere the hole of the vase. I checked everything and cant see what i did wrong.
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. Super thorough and easy to follow 👍
Oh thank you so much Tom! I really appreciate it! That means a lot 😁
For the final step, if anyone is having trouble getting the strokes to show on certain objects. Try tabbing to edit mode, hitting A to select everything, then go to Mesh>Normals>Flip. Likely your object has back to front normals by accident. That's what happened with me! Fantastic tutorial Kevan, thankyou!
That's happened to me before as well 😂. Thanks for the tip and for watching!
@@kevandram No problem, happy to support these great videos, I know how much effort they take to make hah!
Thanks so much! This happened to me and I could tell what was happening, but couldn't figure out how to fix it after a few minutes of fooling around. This solved it for me!
Thanks! This helped a lot!
You're a hero. I nailed everything but that, even made another table. Good now though!
The training was really great. Thankful.🧡🧡

wow such a unique way of using grease pencil to make a rose !
Thank you so much 😀
Great! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for checking it out!
no problem man!
OMG, You're amazing!! thank u sooooo much
Thank you for checking it out!
Thank you so much. You make a great teacher.
Thanks so much for checking it out and the kinds words!
@@kevandram Kevin, can you try to explain why you do certain things in Blender? You did excellent but in the part where we are going to make the rose, you tell us to click here click there without explaining why and its effect. Thank you for the lesson, I'm looking forward to learning more :)
@@mczeno Sorry if that was a little confusing! During that part, I wanted to set up the options quickly so that we could get to modeling the rose to keep it consistent with the section. Id o go into more detail on Grease Pencil and explain those options in Part 2. Hope that helps!
Great tutorial. Neat and crisp.
Thank you!
That is a thing of beauty. Also, this was a great tut. Good pacing. 👍
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!
the section at 53:36 is a bit tricky and here's a solution that helped:
if u have applied the subdivision sub surf modifier the shape will change drastically to the vase so most u u(me included) will press ctrl + r and add new loops and shift to the either ends, now this results in a good looking vase however having that geometry over on top of each other is going to be bad and will be difficult to replicate what he has done
another thing I noticed is that all of his layers are pointed to the top right of the screen but when I did that it didn't do that for me, the reason it worked for him is because the light is also to the top right so shifting your lighting will help a lot
and in section 47:45 it'll be hard to tell where the layers are for some people I recommend to switch between constant and b spline, use constant to see the layers clearly and b spline to see the colours better
Hope this helped going to the next video ;)
Thanks for the tips! Apologies you encountered some trouble in it!
thanks you so much it helps me a lot!
Glad it could help! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video! !!
Thank you for checking it out!
Yet another congrats comment that reminds me when years ago I "had" to make something in then Google SketchUp and the official tutorials helped me doing something my friends were flattered about. Thanks and great success!!
My name is Gerardo García Cabrero and surely I will leave you an SOS comment in your web page, but the other thing I wanted to remark respecting web publications is your holding the Standard of keeping the video comments activated... AND answering them. Up to yesterday, I still could read them all, I hope You and I see a better tool in the comments interfaces in the near future. Thanks again for the great tutorial.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching the tutorial! I really appreciate that. 😁😁
This is such a great step by step tutorial! Thank you for taking the time for creating this!
The whole Main Color Shader section chapter in at the 55:00 point can be shortened without adding ANY of the additional ColorRamps or Mix nodes though. Add the multiple colours like you did with the Shading the Scene - Background chapter. Instead of changing the Interpolation from Linear to B-Spline, change it from Linear to Constant, and that's it!
Unless you are achieving another effect that I don't see, it's way less work and nodes, and uses the same method as you did before!
Thanks so much for checking it out! You can definitely do that set up for a quick toon shader. Unfortunately, I missed a quick step in mentioning that the Separate RGB node allows us to color with light more precisely by taking in RGB color information. So, if we were to set one of our lights to red or green, it would show up to the color we specified in our shader. I hope that makes sense!

I HAVE FOUND THE BEST TUTORIAL
Hope you find it helpful! Thanks for watching!
Hey everyone! Be sure to check out Part 2 of the tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/P7VsRlH7w_4/w-d-xo.html 😁
Thank you so much
Thanks! keep doing the awesome tutorial like this👍
I gotta ask, Did you animate your Avitar with Blender? The speach to mouth movements is incredible
That rose 🤯🤯🤯
Thanks!!
Thank you so much
Thank you for checking it out!
great tutorial would like to menschen that you can use the select random under select to add variation. I learned so much from this thank you.
Thanks for the tip! Glad it could help!
Nice!
Thanks so much!
amazing! coooooooooool! and Unstoppable。Words can't express what I felt then. hahaha
Thanks so much! Glad it could help! :)
Funny how you used Grease Pencil to draw the rose, instead of single verts and duplicate. It's great how there's many ways you can do this in Blender. This was a fun approach!
Thanks for watching!
sick!!! domo arigato!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!
Dude, nice tut and also also I think you have a rarely gift at explaining things. Please keep this good content coming!
Also the character lipsynced and explaining along was a nice touch, it would be great if you could teach us your own method of creating and animating it sometime in the future!!
Cheers!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it! And I'll definitely think about creating an animated character avatar for the future 😁😁
excellent
Thanks so much!
Hi thanks for the tutorial,(39:52) you can randomise position of vertices by using proportional editing and changing falloff to random
Yes you can definitely do that as well! Thanks for watching!
if u were wondering where the mix rgb noded - and where it disappeared, didnt show up in search
it was right into colour - mix colour.
Although I know basics of blender, There isnt much grease pencil tutorials at all so this is helpful. thanks.
Thanks so much! Hope it’s helpful. We’ll focus more on grease pencil in part 2!
Make sure at 32:50 that all the planes (objects) that you created are selected and hold "Alt" while ticking the subdivision surface modifier on. That way the modifier shows on all the planes (objects) that you selected.
Thanks for clarifying that!
thank u
Thanks for watching!
Awesome tutorial, very helpful!! Also, at 39:50 you can click the select tab (top left), then select random, and it will automatically select random vertices for you. Hope this helps!
Thanks for watching! I generally do that with larger meshes, but I was particular in wanting to avoid selecting any edge vertices. Thanks again!
when i try to extrude the vertices down it doesn’t work it just looks like wire frame. i don’t see any faces.. know how to help??
Hey if somebody else has an issue with the background after duplicating background node in step 4.
Try changing camera path in the light node to shadow ray
Thanks man, this really helped me.
does it change the outcome in any way?
wow dude, this is an incredible tutorial. very thorough, clear, well-paced. awesome artistic style too!! Do you have a Patreon? I'm just starting out in Blender & I'd definitely sub for monthly tutorials or something.
Thanks for much for the kind words! I really appreciate that. And I do not have a Patreon, but am thinking about doing something like that in the future!
ありがとうございます。arigatou
Thank you so much for checking it out!
Great work! I love your artwork and the pace of your tutorials. Just a tip, to extrude multiple faces along normals, you can hit ALT + E :)
Thanks so much! And great tip!
@@kevandram No problem! Thank you for teaching me how to understand grease pencil after all these years!
at 54:00 you will not find Shader to RGB, if you are using cycles. There are to ways to go around this: First: Just switch to Eevee under the render settings > Render Engine > Eevee or the second way, if you want to use Cycles use a Toon BSDF. Great tutorial btw
Greace pencil my beloved
🙌🏽🙌🏽
at 25:09 you could press Alt+E and select extrude along normals but it is not necessary just possibly easier
Got here via ur How to learn Blender . . . video and have been stuck in tutorial hell for quite a while. Maybe due to me fumbling through the process w/o goals, I guess. I hope something will knock me into the next lvl of this journey. So checking out GP and some GN's too.
Thanks so much for checking out my videos! You can do it!! :)
And one request, please remember me when you reach a million subscribers or get famous one day
Delighted to say this is one of the best blender tutorial I have ever seen and learnt a lot. Keep up the awesome work. But what attracts my attention is the Animated Character in the video. If you please tell me how you did it.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! I used Adobe Character Animator for that. Hope that helps :)
@@kevandram Yeah! Cool. Hope this video will go viral.
@@kevandram This is really awesome. If you make a video on how to make this 2D and also 3d character on Blender it helps a lot of people.
at 1:00:00 if the outline is super wierd, click the icon left of the viewport shading icons (looks like 2 circles, one is filled) and go to the drop down menu. Check the box "face orientation". Now everything should turn blue and red. Go into edit mode and select all red faces. Click "mesh" right of the different modes > Normals > Flip. Then uncheck the face orientation again. If you didnt understand some of this, just google flip face orientation
Hi, this is such a cool look with the outlines, thank you for sharing tutorials! Do you know how those outlines could work on a rigged and animated character? And is there an option to make the outlines like a wabbly sketchy style? :)
Thanks so much! For the outlines on the meshes, since it goes by normals, they should work at any angle. To make those lines wobbly, you can try adding a subtle displacement modifier on it to give the surface some texture. You can also rig grease pencil objects if you'd like as well. To get those to wobbly, you could add a noise modifier on the outlines. Hope that helps!
I'm learning blender currently and have gathered a ton of paid courses and this is of higher quality than all of them you should be charging for this or open a patreon so ppl can give what they can if you'r more into that ( I think blenders community fits this model more tbh). Anyway well done 👍
Oh thanks so much! I really appreciate that. I was seeing how this would go considering it was my first Blender tutorial. But, thinking of setting something up in the future!
For perfect accuracy when adding a cursor to the center of a face:
Tab to edit mode
switch to face select
Click on the face you want and hit shift+s
You can then select "set cursor to selected"
Just saw this video over a year after you made it. My question is, "How did you animate yourself and get your animated mouth to more or less mimic your speech?" That is so Dope!
Thank you! I actually used Adobe Character Animator for that!
Super. Video
Thank you!
Man this is fucking awesome
Thanks so much!
