Blender 4. 0 Beginner Drawing & Animation Class for 2D Artists (Introduction to Grease Pencil): Welcome to Mumu's Blender 4.0 class tailored for 2D artists and animators! Throughout this course, we'll dive into Blender and harness the power of Grease Pencil, Blender's drawing and 2D animation tool, to craft captivating looping animated artwork.
There are numerous reasons to explore Blender: it's free, open-source, incredibly potent, flexible, and boasts a thriving community of supportive users. Blender has you covered whether you're into 2D art, 3D art, or a blend of both. Additionally, you can seamlessly integrate compositing and video editing tasks within Blender itself!
My journey with Blender began a few years back when I embarked on personal animated projects. Delving deeply into Grease Pencil, I developed unique techniques and approaches. To contribute back to the community, I started creating tutorials and sharing tips on my YouTube channel, eventually expanding to full-fledged courses.
This class is designed for newbies to Blender or those with some Grease Pencil experience eager to discover the tips and tricks I've spent months refining.
We'll start by downloading and setting up Blender, mastering primary navigation, and then diving into a simple animated project to familiarize ourselves with drawing, coloring, editing, animating, and more. Finally, we'll add sound and render our animation into a video.
All you need for this journey is your computer and an internet connection. While a graphics tablet is a bonus, I'll demonstrate everything using a mouse. Let's unleash our creativity with Blender and Grease Pencil!
