Blender also has a 2D animation system which is accessed through the Grease Pencil object type. While the object is still 3D, the way you draw and set keyframes is much more similar to a 2D program like Adobe Illustrator or Toon Boom. In this lesson, we explore the Grease Pencil's Draw Mode and how - along with modifiers - we can make a simple cartoon style animation.
