Blender Grease Pencil Basic Class

Blender, previously known only as a 3D tool, has a unique creative toolset called the Greasepencil system that allows for powerful 2D and 3D drawing and animation work not found in any other 3D package.


  • The Grease Pencil system, which was newly added to Blender 2.8 in 2019, has since exploded its potential and has now become one of Blender's most important features. In particular, the Grease Pencil's potential has become endless since it began supporting combinations with geometry nodes, which will become Blender's next-generation UI, starting with version 4.3. In this Blender Grease Pencil Basic class,

    Rather than the 3D approach that makes Blender's powerful Grease Pencil function difficult to understand, we have prepared the lecture content from a user-centered perspective so that you can easily use the Grease Pencil like a conventional 2D graphics program.

  • We have carefully designed the curriculum so that students can find the best workflow for their creative work, based on the differentiated know-how we have acquired through intensive research on Blender's Grease Pencil over the past five years.

  • Above all, since the current Grease Pencil is not yet complete and is still developing at a rapid pace, we wanted to look into the fundamental problems that existing Blender users find frustrating to use, as well as the areas that require attention for continuous learning beyond a simple explanation of functions, and provide a guide to a concept-oriented approach that is in line with the future development direction of Blender.

I recommend this to these people

A class for those who want to work creatively intuitively using Blender.

Blender is something that many people are interested in and want to use, but they lose interest due to the unexpectedly unintuitive work environment, frequent mode switching, and confusing menus. However, in the AI era, the most important feature in the future will be 'ease of use'. To this end, we have been researching a UI that can use Blender more intuitively. As a result, we are introducing a workflow that improves work speed and reduces fatigue that is incomparable to the existing Blender usage method. In particular, the intuitive work process using the grease pencil provides incomparable speed compared to the existing 3D work method. Through this class, you will add fun to creation and be able to handle Blender more easily.

A class for those who want to understand, not just follow along.

Blender, a free open source program, has recently attracted a lot of attention in Korea, but because the areas in which it can be used are so broad, there are many cases where people become so fascinated by the functional aspects of the tool that they end up not being able to properly use it as a tool to implement their own creativity.

The Grease Pencil Basic class is designed to explain based on the existing 2D work environment so that even those who are new to 3D programs can use Blender without any inconvenience.

Especially, if you are someone who has used other 3D software, you can learn a way of thinking to explore efficient workflows that you could not get from existing follow-through tutorials. Furthermore, you can create your own working method by understanding the exact concepts and operating principles.

After taking the Greek Pencil Basic Class,

  • You will be able to create 2D and 3D drawings using the grease pencil.

  • Using the grease pencil, you can implement animation in a variety of ways.

  • You will learn an efficient workflow that will minimize mode switching in Blender and dramatically increase the speed of your work using the Grease Pencil.

The joy of understanding through concept-based learning!

Tutorial methods that simply follow the instructions for each step and reproduce the results make it difficult for learners to gain a deep understanding of the principles or reasons for learning in the process, as they focus only on the results that are visible. This has limitations in fostering creativity and problem-solving skills. On the other hand, classes based on the principles of computer graphics and the characteristics of tools help learners understand how each technology works. Learners can try new approaches, gain experience, and develop original works beyond simple imitation. Learning based on the principles of tools plays an important role in achieving creative achievements beyond the acquisition of technology.

A class that prepares you for the future of Blender!

Blender is evolving rapidly and will continue to become more intuitive and easier to use. Therefore, it is important to learn and work with the newly improved UI in mind instead of the existing complex UI. This will dramatically reduce the speed of work and minimize unnecessary mental and time fatigue. Based on my experience of meticulously tracking all the changes and updates from Blender 2.8 to 4.4, this class presents the optimal user-centered workflow, making learning fun and working more comfortable.

Q&A 💬

Q. Isn’t Greek Pencil 3D drawing just 3D modeling?

Not at all. Grease Pencil 3D Drawing is a whole other level from just 3D modeling! Many Grease Pencil 3D works introduced elsewhere so far have not been much different from the 3D modeling process of converting existing mesh objects or utilizing line art modifiers. However, in this class, I will teach you how to draw 3D 'as if you were drawing'.

We will teach you the secrets of how to naturally fill 3D space as if you were drawing a picture, through a free and intuitive work method that is different from the existing 3D modeling method. Experience the creative world of turning imagination into reality through true '3D drawing', not just modeling. Once you learn it, you will definitely feel how much your work speed, efficiency, and creative expression will change!

Q. Blender is secretly quite tricky to use?

Yes. Blender is a free open source software with powerful features, but it still lacks an intuitive UI that ordinary users can easily handle. However, Blender is developing rapidly, and more and more convenient and complete UIs are being introduced. Therefore, using the latest version of Blender means more than just adding features. Thanks to the user-centered UI, you can now work more easily and intuitively. In this class, you will learn how to use Blender more easily according to its current state as well as future changes. We will also provide convenient user-centered workflow tips that we have studied and thought about for a long time. We hope that Blender will no longer feel unfamiliar and familiar through this class.
