How to DRAW your own 3D models! | Blender TIPS + TRICKS

Howdy y’all, thanks for stopping by! (^^)/ I’m still a very busy bee atm but it feels real nice to have been able to get a new video out in between all my behind-the-scenes bits n’ pieces! 💖 (Tho truth be told I’m a lil’ anxious about this one since it’s so different from my usual character art vids lol - but I hope it can be helpful to at least a peep or two!) Have a good one y'all! (^^)/

Really impressive 3d art work

Great tutorial! I've been doing 3D art for about a year and a half, and you explained grease pencil in a very comprehensive way! Another really good reference for creative ways to use this tool in blender that has really helped me out is Kevandram's grease pencil tutorials. Really helped me out in my own blender journey! :) (also if anyone is interested in learning how to use blender's 3D modelling capabilities, BlenderGuru's doughnut series is a very popular and effective jumping off point) ((sorry this has been a special interest for me for a while lol))

For an initial attempt at Blender, that's really good, Grease Pencil has a lot more features, even a layer system different than what you figured out (which is by creating new objects). You can even create filled areas for colors, or just filling in walls. Great video

LITTLE ANIMATED GUY AT THE START. LOVE HE

Do I draw or do anything else that this tutorial would be helpful? No. Will I watch this video nonetheless? Absolutely, your videos are always so relaxing and pleasant to watch

Very, quite literally this whole week I've been thinking "I should learn Blender" for both 3D modelling and drawing-sketching purposes, and this video just fueled the thoughts even more (positively). Your explanation was really awesome and so clear that you've totally convinced me to try it out! :D Thanks for making this video!

I downloaded blender a couple days ago, so this was a very fortunate coincidence! And, as someone who also only works in 2D, I think what you're talking about here is a good bridge between 2D and full-on 3D stuff. Thanks for this video, I'll definitely have to try this out before jumping in to trying to wrap my head around 3D models!

This is awesome, very well explained 😊

Me a 3d animation student listening in the background to help with his metric in the algorithm

my jaw literally DROPPED as soon as i saw the lineart come together!!!! this is so useful and you've helped this artist!! will definitely be trying when i start my own comic one day :') youre a gem alex, truly!!

even if you aren't an expert, this made it seem way less overwhelming to start and that's what I needed, so thank you

LETS GOOOO NEW ABD ILLUSTRATES VIDEO!!!!! HELLOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tips!

AHHHHHH, I was waiting for this notif!!! I just wanna say, you have litterally kicked art block out of my life. I have been so unmotivated to do the funny little art stuff, but after binging some of your videos, and then having them on 24/7 for background noise, it's helped my art process and inspired me to also forage through my old art and find some stories to revamp! You also happened to post the Trigun Stampede video right as I was getting into it (hyperfixations yay) so that also boosted my motivation. So, THANK YOU DEARLY for being, I love your artwork so so so much, keep up the amazing work, take care of yourself, and stay hydrated!! :D

I didn't think about using the 2d animation section of blender instead of trying to fully build a scene! Definitely saving this for my next project

Ah yes... the start totally convinced me! It was so thought out and nice and calmly explained... I am happy to say... that it isn't important to be able to understand huge programms especially things like Blender. Heck, I use programms at work that I still don't understand, yet I get a product out of it at the end of the day. And as long as the product is enough, as long as you yourself is satisfied about the results then everything is fine.

This is super cool! I’ve been using blender to build 3D environments for 2D reference too (mostly the sculpting modes), but i had never thought of using grease pencil! That sounds such a cool way to bridge between 2D and 3D

Thank you so much for this tutorial Alex!!😊

this looks so fun to do! I wish my computer was strong enough to use blender because I really wanna try that now. it's looks like a really awesome way to make reusable backgrounds for comics, because it's still actually drawn by hand so it lets you add more details without having to redraw it over and over, and if you put in enough effort to make sure it looks good from most angles then the possibilities are endless. I don't think it will be good for comics with a lot of diverse backgrounds, but ones with like 1-3 major backgrounds can definitely use this technique.
