Blender Grease Pencil tutorial for drawing and doing 2D animation. I've been learning Grease Pencil in my spare time, and thought I'd share the most helpful tips for getting started in Blender's 2D app!
► Download the Blender Grease Pencil Basics PDF: animatedloop.com/products/blender-grease-pencil-basics-pdf
The pdf is a handy reference that covers everything in this video AND MORE tips not covered in this video. It's a helpful 30 page guide that I hope will act as light in the blender darkness when you get stuck.
