I have made tutorials about it, but there will be some changes in the near future (particle nodes) so I left them out of this.

Grease pencil requires a decent graphics card to run properly. Like Nvidia 1050.
With these tips you can easily be a great grease pencil artist like dedouze, sophie jantak, blender grease monkey, team miracles, kevandram, marco bucci etc!
Remember.
We all have a story / idea worth telling.

How to use the lighting options (sun, spot, point, area) so you can move the lighting source around to create shadows.... is that possible in grease pencil? I've seen it in being used in the 3D side of Blender but can't find anything for 2D grease pencil :-(
35:46 how tf did you do that animation? :o
did you somehow break apart the stroke segments?
THE BEST BLENDER GREASE PENCIL TUTORIAL SERIES EVER
I'm very impressed
My first thought when I saw it was a 1h30 video was that you would take your time in explaining stuff, but it's actually 1h30 worth of valuable information presented at a very dynamic pace. Well done
Thank you!
I think it was important to show what you can do with grease pencil, it's so much more than most people think. I think I have just scatched the surface what you can do with it, can't wait to see what other people create :)
blender and its community keep surprising me although I've been using it actively for a couple years now! holy damn. What a tutorial, thanks man
Thank you so much! I love this community! 🥰
This is THE BEST and most comprehensive tutorial I've seen for grease pencil! I've been looking for something this comprehensive for a while. Thank you so much for your effort, it's been a huge help!
I'm glad I could help!
I hope you make awesome projects with Blender :D
Thanks Mate
I finally found what I was looking for! There is not much information about grease pen. Yours is the best, thank you!

Thank you!!!
Subbed for life Dantti. You're a life saver.
Thank you for this tutorial.
Such a lovely, well edited, helpful and entertaining tutorial~
Helpful timestamps + a non-intrusive timer + entertaining little jokes and references thorough the video + neat transitions (let's all appreciate how much effort those little 5 second clips must have taken) + captions (thank you so much!!) and very straight to the point (the video is just long because he covers so much, really)
You have a neat accent, sir! It's very refreshing (and sometimes even cute) how you pronounce some words. I can still understand you clearly even though English is not my first language!
I hope this video blows up and gets recommended to lots of people! You deserve more likes and views.
Thank you so much! This comment really made my day!
I'm super glad you liked this video and found it useful!
This did take insanely long to make and so great that it was not for nothing.

Excelente vídeo, parabéns!!!!
Really good share. Many thanks. I love having 2D and 3D workflow in same greater tool. So many shortcuts shared across these workflows. You know, grease pencil is really a great tool for creating patterns and stuff too, for like clothing material patterns, especially with array modifier. Don't really see that talked about much, but I bet will get a lot of usage that way.
Almost scary the amount you managed to pack into this little beauty.
Many Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Channel is criminally undersubscribed.
(Subbed!)
Wow, just wow. Thank you so much for this golden tutorial.
Great and entertaining tutorial! Tnx

Best grease pencil tutorial, help me so much!!
This is by far the most in-depth Grease Pencil tutorial i've ever seen, i learned so many things i didn't know even after already watching hours of tutorials on TH-cam, well done!
Thank you! :)
Great work, well explained! Thank you so much! :-D
Asombroso! Gracias por el contenido, me esta ayudando bastante!
De nada! :)
Hey man, great stuff. I've been looking to incorporate a good 2D animation program into my designs - and grease pencil seems so cool and diverse. I was considering using Synfig Studio but I'm seeing the capabilities of GP are nuts. Thanks so much for your time spent creating this. I love how your animated character is the one giving the tutorial 🤭
I had no idea... now I know why Blender is said to be the best at grease pencil
This is the best grease pencil tutorial I've seen so far. Your work is incredible Dantti
Thank you! :)
You are a consummate educator, sir. God, i wish more folks could be this concise and clear
Thank you very much for putting time, effort, and knowledge into this video. This covers literally every possible question I could have had on the grease pencil tool!
Thank you, hope you make awesome animations! :)
Greatest and the most informative GreaseTut Ever)) Thank you)
Wa, That is DAMN GOOD and CRAZYYYY Thank youuu
My god! What a masterclass!!! I wish I had discovered you 8 months ago when I started to learn Blender....
Wow this is a big one and looks like it covers ALOT including the brand new features . Nice one . I'll dig in and study this soon.
Thanks! I tried to include all the important stuff so anyone could make their own projects or maybe inspire switching to Blender :)
@@Dantti It's really comprehensive. Nice one
Stooooppppp! My brain hurts :-) Thanks for this. I need a long time to learn so many great hints. THANKS!
thank you bro😍
Many Thanks Dantti. 2 Years ago I tried Blender 2D and scared myself out of it. Your brilliant and very generous video (taken lots of your time) has given me new hope. The professional excellence in your video matches the ever growing awesome power of Blender 2D and 3D. I will follow every video you make and if ever I can shift from a hobby to an earning position with Blender, I will certainly donate to support Blender.
Thank you so much! I was in your shoes once, but I started with 2.7 series which was a UI nightmare 😅 Keep pushing, keep learning, keep growing. You can literally do everything in Blender which is a great asset to know as a software. You can definitely earn with the skills you develop over time. I'd say it is totally worth it to learn compared to watch tv for instance 🥰 I believe in you!
Amazing video. I got tired. So much information. But I'm saving it to go back and catch up. Thank you.
A very valuable and awesome video! thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
This video is a complete user manuel for Grease Pencil.
Thank you very much. 🙏🇹🇷
I love this tutorial and I LOVE your accent......SUBSCRIBED
This is such a great tutorial, especially for a person like me, who just wants to know what and where to find it and how to use it.
TH-cam algorithm sucks
Your channel should be right there at the top
Thank you for your effort
7 minutes in and you have improved my workflow immensely, not even in regards to the 2D stuff but moreso the quick favourites. Love how you added Ctrl + Space as that shortcut is heavily underrated.
1:00:00 in thanks for all this hard work, lots of non-grease pencil info here that can help a lot of new users and experienced alike. very informative, the music stopping threw me off though!
wait. was there no definitive music through half of this? I swear I heard like sims sound track in the background. Was that my brain playing tricks on me?
Thank you! Hahaha maybe my voice is music to your ears? 😅
But seriously I wanted to leave music out of this because there's so much information that music would be just another distraction besides my pronunciation. Cheers!
Урок просто топ! Спасибо!
just wanted to say that this is awesome!
blender IS its community. i just love it
Thank you! It sure is! I wanted to return the favour and create some tutorials after I learned so much completely free, backed by an amazing community that has posted answers to almost evey question possible :)
So great! I'm super happy if I can teach someone to use a part of Blender :)
This is surprisingly informative, thank you for making this. I do have a question regarding the curve editing option around the 27:25 mark. I don't have that option showing up at all. Like, it doesn't even appear on my screen to click. I'm using version 2.91, so do you have to go into settings to add it to the top of the screen or something to have the option to activate or de-activate it?
Edit: Oh, I see that it's only on 2.92 and above. Disregard. Still, very informative video.
Thank you. Tweaked the description for that part. Hope it's more clearer now :)
Cheers!
This is very amazing! Thank you very much for taking the time to do this course, Grease Pencil is a great tool. I will check your pages :O
It's so well crafted and detailed. Amazing tips for beginners and advanced user that might missed some juicy tricks. Thank you Dantti!
Thanks man!
I started collecting a list like 6 months ago, first I was going to make separate tutorials of them, but the list grew too big so I just created this big one 🤣
I hope more people start to realize how great grease pencil is, it opens up so many creative possibilities it's crazy! Cheers!
@@Dantti in the era of ultrashorttutorials i love this kind of bundles. grease pencil is amazing, i kinda obsessed about capturing 2D aesthetic in 3D (i am baking some tutorial about it as well) And i am so happy to see that how GP becomes a great instrument about that matter
This video is AWESOME, very insightful and helpful, in a categorized way that is easy to digest and go back to when needed, Thank you for Sharing, you are Awesome 😃
Only part way through this and already finding a few things I hadn't figured out yet. One thing to note on proportional editing... if you do have a stroke that is close to circling back on itself and you are using "Connected only", it will still pick up the "wrong" end and manipulate it, unlike in other areas of Blender (at least as of 2.92 as well as 2.93A at the time I'm mentioning this).
very good, you won a subscriber here from Brazil, thanks for the super course.
Muito obrigado 🥰
Holy crap man!!!! This is amazing! Thorough, lucid, and entertaining. Well done. How did you record the videos and the animated avatar?
This video is one of the best grease pencil tutorials I have comes across. Thank you Dantti.
Comments like this always make my day! 🥰
Thank you so much!
@@Dantti You are welcome :) And you're funny dude!
please make more tutorial like this
