- čas přidán 29. 06. 2024
- Hey everyone! Wanted to create an updated grease pencil tutorial for Blender 3.0. There’s been a lot of changes on it and I thought it’d be good to walk through some of the drawing options and shape tools. You won’t need a tablet for the first part, but towards the end, it might be helpful to have one for adding details. I am planning on putting out more tutorials, so feel free to let me know what else you’d like to see.
Hope you guys enjoy!

Hey Everyone! If you ever wanted to learn Grease Pencil, I just released a course with CG Boost here: www.cgboost.com/courses/master-grease-pencil-in-blender . This course is a lot more thoroughly paced and will walk you through everything you need to know to get started. By the end you'll have created an entire scene. Hope you guys enjoy and thanks for the support!
i just finish the tutorial, learned a lot, thanks!
I'm korean.
thank you for korean caption!
Graphics history tidbit: The first 'toon shader' was written as a plugin for 3D Studio v4 (the original DOS version), subcontracted for the "Virtual Springfield" 1997 Simpson's game. The entire city of Springfield was modeled in 3D, carefully studying episode after episode, scene by scene.
That was my job, I got paid to watch the Simpsons, and build the buildings. It's cool to see how far this type of shading has evolved in 25 years.
The developer of the plugin retained ownership of the code and it became the "Cartoon Reyes" mainstream plugin for 3D Studio MAX a few years later. "Non Photorealistic Rendering" developed quickly after that among all the major 3D applications.
@@peterbelanger4094 Very cool story and info, Peter! I hope you were paid well for all that work! Amazing how much cartoon rendering has all progressed since then!
Awesome tutorial !!!
Previously I had started a paid course on grease pencil and felt kind of lost.
I am 5 minutes into your tutorial and everything makes sense now.
Fantastic !!!
Man, Imagine if Unity supported Grease Pencil objects as well. Imagine an entire game with this kind of style of 3D art and animation look, even with other art styles. It would seriously stand out just by how it feels.
does ue support grease pencil?
@@liguelxi1610 I mean, I've never tried it, but I seriously doubt it given that to my knowledge Blender is the only program in existence that does what Grease Pencil does. I'm pretty sure no other program can do it.
Yeah I think it'd be really cool to see that. Hopefully in the near future! Thanks for watching!
@@kevandram for sure. And in the meantime it'll be mazing for animation.
kinda reminds me of omori lmao
I always thought grease pencil was difficult to use but you have changed everything.
I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks so much!
@@kevandram Thank you very much like most of the grease pencil tutorials I see are mostly made using either a graphics or drawing tablet so just seeing you use the mouse alone is amazing. love the tutorial,
its still hard to use compared to a painting software
@@alexmehler6765 I would say it's different. But not necessarily harder. Every software and workflow have their complications. Nevertheless, practice makes the master.
To anyone who can't enable a canvas... The canvas overlay (1:13) in Blender 4.0 has been moved to the new dropdown... just to the right of Overlay options :)
thank you

How to erase a part of a grease pencil stroke or delete it?
Wow, this looks gorgeous!! Will have to give this a try :D Thank you for taking the time to put this together ❤️
Thanks so much for the kind words and checking out the video!
How did it go?
Great tutorial.. for those following along, I condensed the initial setup:
Delete default cube
Add grease pencil object (Shift + A > Grease Pencil > Blank)
Go into Draw Mode (from dropdown)
Go to the Overlays Dropdown - check Grid, 3D Cursor, Canvas
In Stroke Placement
- use 3D Cursor
In Drawing Planes,
- set to Front View
In object mode, set 3D cursor to world origin
Set grease pencil origin to 3d cursor
Color Management:
- Filmic -> Standard (more accurate colors)
- Look -> Medium High Contrast
World Properties:
- background to pale yellow
In grease pencil:
- create New Layer; rename to "Walls"
- uncheck Use Light
In Materials Tab:
- create new material; name it "Walls".
- I’m making the stroke
In front view (Numpad 1)
- enter Draw Mode; select Box Tool
- set Radius to 35px
- uncheck Use Pressure
- bump up Strength to 1
Set timeline to the beginning.
Keep Auto Keying Button off
thanks for the use lights bit! the colours were way too dark but this fixed it.
OMG Thanks for this!
This is INCREDIBLE, I'm so happy to find a tutorial that is so easy to follow, especially with an art style I've been struggling with!
Thanks so much for watching!! Glad it was helpful!
this is one of the first tutorials where i feel like i actively understood what was happening without having to rewind a bunch of times :'D great work, man!
Oh thank you so much! I really appreciate that and glad it was helpful!
I was having difficulty to do the steps at first, then I slept and continued to follow the tutorial on the next day and it went more easy
man I'm the complete opposite, I'm having so much trouble following and having to rewind a bunch :(
Nah man. I think he's going too fast for me. I am rewinding and pausing alot lot.
May be I am just a noob doing it after making the Donut in 4.0
Blender is so damn amazing ! I wonder every day how I was ever stupid enough to use 3DS Max for 20 years.
Great, great, tutorial. So much ! to learn in there. Quiet amazing.
Thanks for sharing your obviously well-tested techniques.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I really appreciate that!
Question: How much money would you take for your 3DS Max Program?
That is the most polished presentation I've seen on YT. I appreciate it and will be working on this today.
hah, I been using blender for years and had no idea you could copy/past colors without actually having to open the color picker. That is awesome!
I'm very interested in grease pencil and that was a very clear concise guide, great work
Yeah it definitely saves a lot of time 😂. Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful!
I used to click on it and copy the Hex ID and paste it, waaaay too long ! I learned many tips in this video, thank you :)
So confident and clear, no pauses or tangents... so very helpful and well-produced. Either this took a zillion takes, or you are supernaturally skilled and fearless. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching!
How can I delete or erase a part of a grease pencil stroke?
I'm very impressed, the colors look perfect. The final product is top quality!
Thank you so much!
This is incredible! I've never opened up blender in my life but I was mesmerized through this entire video. The end result is so pretty I wanted to see every step of it
Oh thanks so much for checking it out! I appreciate it!
WOW this was such a great tutorial, thank you! I have used Blender for projects a few times a year since 2005 or so, and never really looked into the grease pencil. I'm really inspired to play around with it now.
Thanks so much! It's a great tool!
Wow! This looks super cool! I never knew it was possible to create something like this in Blender. I learn so much about the software every day and just how powerful it is, and even more so with all of the helpful and fantastic plugins available.
Your work looks fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing and showing how this is done!
I hope you have a fantastic rest of your week! 😃
Thanks so much for those kind words! I really appreciate it! And I feel the same way about Blender, it seems like there's always something new 😂.
yes but after this week I hope for *one thousand years of drought so your crops will not grow*
Love your style.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Please keep them coming !
Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it!
I'm so mad that youtube has not recommended me to your channel till now! i've been going through grease pencil tutorials but none of them are as easy to understand as yours. Thank you finally for coming into my life sir. I'm now fallen in love with blender again. :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the video helpful! I'll be putting more out soon 😁
@@kevandram quick question, what do you press if you don't have a num pad? Thanks
OMG... This is so inspirational! I'm not a full time artist, but have played with Blendar and I heard that Grease Pencil was a great tool, but I hadn't seen a demo that showed how it could be used for this kind of work. Thanks!
Easily the best guide on this I've seen and I've sat through quite a few, I'm adding this to my documentary playlist. Right away you explained well what grease pencil was, before a clear step by step art tutorial then showing us what the grease pencil could do. I've been trying to gain an understanding of this software prior to using it but now I'm sold*.
Thanks so much! I’m glad it was helpful!
Grease pencil is astonishingly powerful. Thanks for such a simple and fast-paced tutorial. It gets us past the confusion of remembering what button to press and teaches a nice quick workflow.
Thanks for your comment! I appreciate it and happy the video was helpful for your!
Your content's always top notch! 🙌
Thank you so much!
WOW I'm really impressed by your tutorials! keep doing them just like this. No explaining on things that don't matter. quick precise and realtime instructions on how to edit, no dithering on useless points. just the right pace. Everyone has a pause button lol
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate that!
the power and versatility of Blender never ceases to astound me - thanks for this amazingly detailed introduction.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! Last time I checked this one had 20k views, congrats! So glad you help more and more people learn how awesome Grease Pencil is 🥰
Thanks so much for the support!
This is incredible! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
this is so beautiful, love the style so much :)
Thanks! I appreciate it!
This was a very well crafted tutorial. Your presentation style and the amount of work you put into it is fantastic. Awesome!
Thank you very much!
This is absolutely amazing! even not being a artist this honestly looks super fun to mess with
Thank you! And it's a really great tool :D
This tutorial looks great! Haven't tried yet but thanks, it motivated me to do some grease pencil.
Glad it could help! Thanks for watching!
This is an AWESOME tutorial!!
I appreciate the cohesiveness and polish this video has 💗
Thank you so much!
If you are having trouble with the fill tool, just increase the "precision" value.
@@thasfiarifa1266 Yes, with the fill tool selected, the "precision" value will appear on top. Next to a value called "dilate".
wow, that's a really cool way to integrate 2D and 3D objects. Good tutorial and excellent explanation. Subscribed!
Thank you so much!
Just finished making this, wanted to say thank you for breaking down grease pencil into really easy to bite chunks. Looking forward to watching more!
Glad it was helpful!
Your tutorial is so awesome. You mention each and every options, keys, at every step. I love it. Thank you sir!
Thanks for the kind words!
Would it be possible to draw characters in this style?
I believe so! And you can also rig grease pencil objects as well. Hope that helps!
@@kevandram Ah yes, thankl you! Yeah I think a humanoid type character would fit this style perfectly!
I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but Worthikids has a grease pencil animation tutorial where he draws a character if that might help
@@nobleeverett5980 Ooh, I'll look it up. Thank you!
This is such a fantastic video. I feel like I learned more from watching this than from all the other grease pencil videos I've seen combined. I had one question if you happen to see this, or if anyone else happens to know. When you right click and have the option to change the active layer and active material (20:18 for example), I was curious about that box. Because when I do the same, I have the option to change the active layer, but NOT the active material like you do. And instead, I have a color wheel at the top of the box. Is there just an option in the settings somewhere that I might need to check or am I missing something super obvious? lol
(Edit: I was going to delete this because I got my answer literally a minute after I posted this, right in the video! But in case anyone else ever runs into the same question and doesn't notice the difference in the video, the reason my "right click box" was different was because I was in vertex mode instead of material mode. The section of the video at 21:20 shows what I was talking about!)
Thanks so much! Glad you found your answer! Let me know of anything else!
You really nailed it! I learned so much about managing layers, materials, stroke placement and many more small details. Grease pencil isn't so confusing anymore.
Glad it could help! Thanks for watching!
I'm really excited to follow along and finally use grease pencil! Thanks for this video, I really appreciate it.
You can do it! Thanks for checking out the video!
Damn the 3d animation is already been to this point. Imagine what we have in VR after a decades.
It'll be exciting to see! :)
Hi Kevan thanks so much for this awesome tutorial. I followed the steps as best I could, but I seem to be having an issue with seeing right through my building. If I look at a lower level I can see the lines of the top building wall as well as the roof. And if I switch to view from the other side I can see the second wall, windows, planters etc. My door, windows and bakery sign seem to be a lot more solid, its mostly the walls themselves. I'd appreciate any help as I am planning to create a grease pencil project for work and currently studying it through your tutorials and others. Thanks a bunch!
Hey. I don’t know if you’ve already solved this issue. If not, or if anyone else is reading this, 1. be sure the respective grease pencil object is selected, 2. go to the Object Data tab in the properties window, 3. open the Strokes drop-down menu. Next to Stroke Depth Order you’ll see 2D Layers is selected by default, 4. open the drop-down and select 3D Location instead. This will fix the issue.
@@spencermckay8222 Hi Spencer, this came just in time, thank you for the help!!
Hey Monii, sorry for the late reply. This is a topic I didn't go into much detail here, but this tutorial was made with the Stroke Depth Order set to 2D Layers. As Spencer mentioned, you can find this in the Object Data Properties Tab. This means that the strokes display according to the order in the Layers Panels. The downside is that our camera view is limited in how much we can rotate before our strokes display brokenly which is why the backside of the bakery isn't closed. A solution to achieving a full 360 view can be to switch the Stroke Depth Order to 3D Location. However, if your strokes are overlapping or your materials have both fills and strokes toggled, they'll look like they're glitching out. A more appropriate solution would be to use a combination of meshes and grease pencil elements so that the meshes can be a barrier for visibility. I hope this helps!
You're the best beginner guide in Grease pencil. Bless you Sir.
I really admire your skills. This kind of 3D animation is absolutely stunning. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you!! I appreciate it!
Hi, how do i get my rectangles to accurately line up with one another when i draw them? They seem to be a little offset from the cursor when i make them
You can go into Edit Mode and toggle "Snap" at the top (looks like a magnet icon). Then, you can make sure your strokes align with each other. You can hold down shift or ctrl for more precision. Hope that helps!
@@kevandram Yeah, thanks. I've learnt a lot more about blender compared to when i posted the comment. I'm gonna have a round 2 at this project, see if i can complete it
While rotating my viewport I could see right through the building I created,I could see the windows through the roof.did I do something wrong?
Great video... I've been using blender over 3 years now..and still learning to improve myself
he explains something about it at 7:05
Yes at 7:05, I do talk about a layer hierarchy which is important to remember. Whatever layer is on top will take visual priority. I hope that helps!

In this video tutorial I have learned a lot, but it is still an edited video. the boy barely moves the drawing, and when he does, he moves it in view from the front or from the side. Also, if you notice, it doesn't finish the four sides of the house, so you don't see the lines on the back walls, for when I put the drawing in perspective... The program has a powerful tool, but it still has a lot left to improve. And... I think the boy is praised a lot, just by watching the tutorial, barely turning on the computer... In any case, I'm still learning a lot from the program, which I didn't know before... and I'm still learning from people
I'm convinced that this being recommended to me is a sign for me to try Grease Pencil again. I've had it for a few months, but I was so overwhelmed trying to figure out the features that I got frustrated and gave up. Now I can't wait to sit down at my desk and try again. Thank you so much
It's a great tool! I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck!
Wow, this looks gorgeous!!
IM kinda stuck on the whole "If it doesn't fill correctly join end points with Ctrl J." Im joining points but it still leaves a little area at the top not filled.Any help would be appreciated.Im brand new to the grease pencil style but I know regular blender pretty well.Thanks :)
No worries! For that part, with your fill tool selected, if you hold down shift while drawing, you can specify a fill area. I would use this to fill out the shape completely. Hope that helps!
Awesome tutorial - I seem to be stuck at around 21:15 - and I think it might be a bug? When I try to click between the material and vertex color it actually colors on the canvas behind the button. When I draw with the leaves brush selected it just draws black - even if the color is set to green. Unsure if there's something I did wrong of if it's bugging.
EDIT: I figured out why it was drawing behind - it's because the 'pin' was pressed - when I unpinned it I was able to switch between vertex paint and material - however, my brush still draws as black and doesn't take the 'leaves' brush texture or color into account.
EDIT EDIT: The reason the brush was drawing as a 'black' texture rather than the 'leaves' was because I was in SOLID mode rather than RENDER PREVIEW mode.
Hmm so sorry about that. Is the result a textured stroke but the color a solid black?
@@kevandram hi. Yes it is. And thank you for your reply - I realized I was on ‘solid’ mode and not in ‘render preview’ 🤦♂️
@@middle_kid it actually helped me, thanks ^^
@@middle_kid OMG how long have I been scouring for an answer
@@middle_kid thaaaaanks!!!! hours trying to figure it out hehe
Just found this as I'm learning Blender, thanks for such a good and to the point tutorial!
Cool video , this just felt like mesh modelling with extra steps initially. But towards the end is where i saw the real power of grease pencil, using special stroke brushes to add super quick details is game changing for me.
Thank you! Yeah, it's pretty versatile tool once you get the hang of it!
this is too efficient. I feel like i got the encyclopedia of all features of grease pencil in one video.
Thanks for watching!
"Everyone is kevin"
*I'm not kevin*
Ahaha 😂
WOw... mindblown. Best grease pencil tutorial I've seen so far. Nice pace and well explained. Thanks dude!
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it!
@@kevandram You're welcome. And keep the amazing tutorials coming!
this is AMAZING thank you so much for making such a detailed video on how to use the grease pencil!!
Thanks for checking it out!
dude this type of art is so beautiful the first minute alone made me want to learn how tysm for showing us
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. This tutorial made me understand grease pencil on a whole new level. Looking forward to learn it properly after this.
Glad it could help! Thanks for checking out the video and good luck!
This is hands down one of the best tutorials I've ever seen in Blender
Oh thanks so much!
looks gorgeous!!
makes me want to make one myself!
Thanks for this tutorial, its great!
Glad you enjoyed it!
basics it's encouraging to learn a little bit more! Well done!
This is so cute! I've scarcely touched the grease pencil. By chance, I just happened bust it out today so I could quickly sketch some ideas for a 3D model. I gave up pretty quickly because I'm just faster at modeling, but this video gave me a lot more information and encouraged me to give it another chance on the next project (and is easily the most thorough video I've seen on the grease pencil). Cheers!
Thank you so much! It's definitely a tool that takes a bit to get used to. But once you get the hang of stroke place/drawing planes, it can be a really great tool. Good luck!
This is so timely. I was trying to wrap mu mind around using this two weeks ago and just went back to my drawing program in disgust. Powerful software is great...if you know how to use it! Glad for some easy follow guidance.
Glad it could help! And thanks so much for watching! You can do it 😁
Hey, I just want to thank you for teaching me so much in so little time. I really appreciate you.
You are so welcome!
OMG this is so amazing, its so simple and clean, its so - wow - I am totally impressed!!
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
What an absolute legend, thank you so much for making this! It has made learning this tool so much quicker! 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it!
Thanks for this tutorial! I always wanted to try grease pencil but didn't know where to start, this was really useful!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Amazing video! I want you to know I followed this step by step , deviating from the original design a little I created a scrap metal shop!
I went from-
"ahh what's this?"
to
" Wow, I did that?"
Thank you for doing this tutorial!
Having never used blender before other than for simple drawings in 2D, I found you to be very informative with your directions. Very easy to follow. I appreciate you and hope you do more tutorial builds like this in the future, breaking down every step and how to go from one to another.
Thanks Again! Hope you have a great day!
Thanks so much for your comment! I really appreciate it!!
Wow this is literally an amazing masterpiece!
Thanks so much!
Oh wow this is gorgeous and it's a tutorial I can actually understand!
