How this 2D/3D animation was made - Introduction to Blender greasepencil and tips for beginners

[@gregkrazanski]

you know what i LOVE about this animation that is not something i considered before? I like how the animation on the leaves in the background is at a much lower frame-rate than the leaves in the foreground. What a great technique. It's probably happening all the time in animation and I never noticed. It's like the animation equivalent of shallow depth of field haha

[@oliviadekok9982]

I know you said this a while ago- but the technique you mention is called parallax

[@kumoryuuichi]

​@@oliviadekok9982Parallax is the difference in translation / panning of an object depending on its distance to the camera. It's a similar relationship with distance/depth as parallax, but it affects the object's own animation speed rather than how fast it moves across the screen.

[@santosd6065]

Yup. Parallax

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

Congrats on having your work in the countdown art. That's gonna be fun to use 😊

[@dedouze]

thank you !!

[@pinkiepurplez]

Thats gotta be awesome. I hope you got compensated appropriately because they are lucky to have your work.

[@dedouze]

@@pinkiepurplez ahah i'm used to ask for not much, but this year i think it should XD, for all my future projects :)

[@pinkiepurplez]

@@dedouze Well I'm glad you realize your worth.

[@SophieJantak]

This is amazing, and thank you so much for sharing my channel and artwork! ❤️

[@dedouze]

you're welcome ! your work is so nice !

[@jeffbb22]

@@dedouze Both of you are amazing artists

[@Aliens420]

The fact that KZbin hired you to do animations for them is so cool. Corgarts 😀

[@nacs]

Love the animation, the voiceover and the stop-motion animation with cutouts!

[@RossOLeary]

Yes! and the little bits of humour, so beautifully done.

[@asiabrew81]

I'm so glad you've been posting your grease pencil process here. I've been following on socials for a while and I've always heard about grease pencil but never had any good real-world introduction/instruction to it. So these videos are just the convergence of two awesome things I've been needing. Thank you! Also, you totally nailed the pronunciation of "lattice" the first time (no need to pronounce the "e" at the end).

[@alexandroschristodoulou9933]

This was amazing, can't wait to dive into grease pencil, thank you! Merci pour l'inspiration et j'adore ton travail !!

[@dedouze]

merci beaucoup !!

[@thegeekclub8810]

I got so, so excited when I saw this in my feed! I love seeing your process. You are pushing Grease Pencil to its limits! Hope to see more stuff like this for you, even if it’s something really simple like a time lapse.

[@lasseel3724]

I don't think he understand how amazing this is, I'm so mind blown with everything.

[@ecto1111]

This video is a piece of art in itself. What an amazing way to explain something so it truly sticks. All your little in-between animations and title-cards gave me goosebumps!

[@stolenweirdness]

i know very little about animation, but i thought it was so cool to see some behind the scenes and details on how you create ur art!!

[@goober7535]

That's so cool you're in the countdown! I saw a really cool one the other day and was wondering who they're reaching out to to make them. Really glad they've included yours :)

[@digitalsketchguy7844]

Superb work. The music was making me float on air lol.

[@Amieee]

Your work, style, colour choice, composition, everything is outstanding

[@AKCreates_]

My mind is BOGGLED watching this… I literally had no idea that this was a thing you could do in 3D animation until today and I’m extremely impressed and my eyes are happy as hecc looking at this♥︎♥︎♥︎ beautiful work dude👍🏼

[@divalea]

My brain is twisted up seeing the paper you with the animated mouth, the paper computer with animated screen, on top of an animated background!

[@majomist]

Oh cette voix adorable je fond! Congrats on the premiere opportunity! That's quite a big step! Always loved your esthetic and this is pure perfection.

[@nondove]

Yeee a new Dedouze video! I tried, I really tried to follow your tips but your calm voice made me fall asleep. 10/10 will try again tomorrow!

[@dedouze]

ahah

[@dedouze]

good luck tomorrow ! maybe drink some sparkling water while watching XD

[@nondove]

Thanks @@dedouze for this video! I did it! It's full of "out of the box" tips and workarounds I never guessed and I can't wait to watch the next one. Thank you a lot for sharing your secrets! Going back again to your first tutorial now... I need to practice more and more. I love your way of explaining and voice tone, it helps me to stay focused, for real this time :)

[@bugparis7252]

Bonjour Dedouze, félicitations pour ce contrat KZbin et un grand merci pour les tutos/vidéos sur ta façon d’appréhender le Greasepencil. c'est passionnant d'avoir le point de vue d'un artiste sur une fonction de Blender. Cette vidéo sera à l'honneur lors de notre prochaine réunion en février. (Je pense que cela va en inspirer plus d'un...)

[@YazminM2222]

Please i would love more tutorials about this animation style. Is amazing the effects and the visuals, i cant believe you made this in blender.

[@postman428]

The goosebump when i watch your works

[@manzup3r]

This is so good, it is really a joy to see how other people use Blender. I always learn a lot from ur videos!

[@sneezingcat6221]

the plants are drawn!? wow thank you so much i adore your content :) and your accent

[@serayayaktastudent5313]

This became my new comfort video, ily 💙

[@franlejeune]

Un grand bravo et merci pour ce généreux partage de connaissances! C'est magnifique!

[@ehsome]

"i didn't have time to make a proper video" dude if this is not a proper, or even one of the best tutorials on youtube. not only about blender, but as tutorial video in general. great content, lot's of questions answered, keywords explained, further help provided... and most of all your voice + the music is so soothing you delivered more than you promised. thanks for the tutorial

[@itdrawing1783]

your the best blender sensei i found on youtube please more of you great art video

[@Shining4Dawn]

Wow! Excellent introduction to Grease Pencil and awesome list of artists and resources! I never thought of manipulating Grease Pencil with the lattice and it looks very useful. For drawing on surfaces, I found it most useful to switch the view to orthographic (shortcut: numpad 5), which will allow you to zoom in and out without having to adjust the offset settings. I had a project which involved a lot of drawing on surfaces, so I've had a great opportunity to learn while working on it.

[@vetomcie2319]

J'adore ce que tu fais et heureux de découvrir cette vidéo et d'en apprendre plus, surtout quand je vois que tu fais ça sur blender 😍 Continue comme ça, t'es trop chaud 👌

[@toraOniku]

god all your animations are so wholesome, and th motion pictures is so good, after my exams ill finally sit down and see how 2d animations works in blender im never able to draw in one plane...it always gets messed up

[@hy3cinth]

I would pay for a course if you made one, your style and the way you make and create, the visual process. Honestly priceless content, I will be one of the first people to buy it if you ever announce it here.❤

[@chiikamm2983]

I’m so excited! I’m eternally grateful to you for making these tutorials 😭🥳

[@gL1135]

Thank you for this video! I pray that you heal up soon!🙏🏿💐☕

[@babyfoxytaylor9785]

Hey I know this video is quite old and you probably won't see me but I always liked 2d and 3d art it makes it trippy like family guy but yours is so much cooler! I adore your art style and I hope you go places!!

[@divalea]

So glad I found your channel. I love your vaporwave aesthetic.

[@D-me-dream-smp]

Mind officially blown. Fantastic explanation of the principles of how Blender and Greasepencil functions. This is looking absolutely incredible and your style pairs so perfectly with blender. THANK YOU so so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to share your knowledge (despite being sick). Loving the “analogue”animation too.

[@Farweey]

Your voice is so calming I would listen to you talking about anything

[@dirkvoltaar]

Congratulations! I really loved the juicebox tutorial, but I struggled with it, so I’m looking forward to trying it again.

[@verybarebones]

Im mostly intrigued by those paper animations you use in the explanations heh

[@whatsleft100]

Me too , I love the paper on top of the 3D

[@Shnyak]

I needed the double x hotkey in my life. Thank you, Dedouze.

[@karthikayagrawal1884]

amazing! this came out at the perfect time for me, I was just gonna start learning the grease pencil tool. your work is very inspiring! Kevandram has great grease pencil tutorials too.

[@RADLEA]

Your animations are AMAZING!

[@safaawl4027]

I really, really love your art. It makes me wanna learn using blender. I always got so excited when you uploaded new videos. Hope you always have great day and keep inspiring me!!! Thank you so much🥺

[@anthropomorphicpeanut6160]

Your voice is very relaxing and your art is beautiful

[@EHManjo]

Beautiful work- as a 2D artist learning 3D (out of necessity to survive) I felt so lost. I felt like I was abandoning everything I loved about this field. This is the perfect marriage and has motivated me to keep on learning. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Mr.ThomasAnderson]

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it but your pronunciation of “lattice” is correct or at least consistent with other Blender users. But Google pronounces it the same way, you’re good. Also I have appreciated your work and your willingness to teach you techniques from the beginning. Your contribution has been invaluable, thank you.

[@marksevastipol1946]

your art is just simply a vibe

[@StevieRay.]

Extremely proud of you and loving the stop motion style. Is there anything you can't do??!

[@filipemecenas]

Im always happy whem KZbin bring your vídeos for me

[@mattceccotti]

The work is great, but I keep coming back to your videos also for the slice of life bits, like pronouncing "lattice" or videos of your studio. Fantastic stuff!

[@windy6587]

Im a guy who would struggle at making even one frame in this entire video, you're amazing for making 19 entire minutes of this 😩

[@cuboidgamez7577]

I love your tutorials so much can't wait for more

[@kevandram]

Amazing work and video! Thanks for sharing your process!

[@PCgmesforever]

Love this! Been waiting for a while for some behind the scenes from you! So inspiring and helpful ! Thank you!

[@gavinholmes7768]

Ha! Your hand puppet cracks me up! Thanks for posting this.

[@locochavo4560]

Incredible stuff! Hope to see more greasepencil processes and tutorials!

[@gretatoth8759]

Loved your voiceover, could listen to it all day!

[@AphimaYT]

Thank you for showing your craft for us. I actually dont do digital animation, but I was stunned to see this technique shown to me by my friends. Thanks for sharing, once more.

[@mylittlebigcom]

Even sneezing fits so well into your work that it seems beautiful 🙌

[@CabblowStudios]

I can't get over the little paper cutouts with animation overlayed on top! It would be great to see your behind the scenes process for that.

[@dexlovesgames_dlg]

What a phenomenal technique! Wtf. I love this. Definitely watching this again tomorrow.

[@brenrich3250]

Love seeing your work and break downs, super inspired to try grease pencil.

[@alfirahmancalfiadro6591]

[@killme9909]

Thank you so much man, i feel like your english has been getting better and congrats on the countdown work.

Super nice and helpful video. I've been looking forward to your updated tutorial, but this has really good information.

I love seeing this, I hope you do more soon since your techniques are so captivating

[@kamanne]

Great video! I love your work! Never knew about the greasepencil, I have so much to learn in Blender.

[@bububirb]

Amazing breakdown, hope you get better soon! Looking forward to see more videos like this. 😊

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

6:21 You can also define shape keys for the lattice, and animate their values over time.

[@GinoZump]

finally. the man with the silkiest voice is back!!

[@laura79613]

you have honestly blown my mind!

[@fritoburrito8049]

This tutorial is art 👏👏

[@nicolastataranno526]

wow ça a l'air tellement simple sur tes vidéo ! quelque part ça m'apaise de voir quelqu'un maitriser Blender comme ça.

[@LukeGyver]

That is amazingly good work. It has this 90s anime feel. Keep up the great work. And its probably the best nutshell explanation that I have seen about this topic. Everybody can understand the opportunity given here by blender. Highly inspiring.

[@jeffg4686]

Grease Pencil one of coolest things in blender. I bet all sorts of cool stuff can be made now that geometry nodes can be used to do a lot of random things with GP objects. Scripting would also be really useful for random/generative art from a collection of GP objects.

[@satriadibasuki]

man this turorial is so beautiful

[@andrewjett5293]

Omg your sneeze sounds just like my uncle’s also great tutorial I am currently trying to figure out how to edit strokes without have one myself and this really helps I didn’t even think about lattices ur a genie!!

[@viewer10283]

Thank you for sharing this! The way you said Lattice first was correct :) hope you are feeling better

[@choe_nuberi_kasu]

I'm Japanese. l love your illustration!!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Your truly a huge representive for blender grease pencil.

[@kanjisdoodles8858]

Your voice is so soft, it’s lovely ☺️

[@kritikd.6248]

Just a tip you can also make a shader for the solidify object that you used for the outlines so that you can make it to interact with the light like outlines towards bright light must be thiner than the outlines towards the shadow

[@zerowofiles]

I wish I could see your work station or pc build. Thank you! You're one of my inspirations😭

[@alexwood9219]

just learned about you from a classmate in my animation class. This vid is super helpful, thanks!

[@markoftheland3115]

wow, thank you so much for sharing your process, your art inspires me!

[@kritikd.6248]

Loved the breakdown, due to some reason any video editing software like AE, Pr, Vegas, Davinchi,etc. Dint run on my pc I wanted to make animated videos... now I know that its possible in blender too... thanks for motivation...

[@mr.echoart]

Ohhh thank you!! You help me a lot with this tutorial :'3 you are the best!

[@hotdangitsdan9986]

Hi! I find your art absolutely inspiring, I love busy cityscapes and all the little details you get in your pieces. I'm totally gonna pick up one of your pieces from your store, those handmade 3d posters are pretty irresistible. If you ever fancied doing a more in depth tutorial explaining your workflow, I'd, y'know, watch or whatever. ^_^

[@thcarneiro]

Thank you, Dédouze! Your tips are great!
