CREATE WITH ME

The theme for this month's series is "painting with as few strokes as possible."

I'm fascinated by stroke count. In my .blend files, I like to have the statistics visible, which show the number of layers in a grease pencil object, the number of frames, and points, and... strokes.

I've noticed similar features in painting programs like Procreate, but in raster programs this number is strictly cumulative - unless you undo a stroke you just drew, there is no way to remove strokes. But since Blender is vector-based, every stroke exists independently and can be selected and removed at any time - thus making the stroke count a number that can go both up and down.

Since my pieces tend to have a high stroke count, between 1000-5000 strokes for a full painting, I challenged myself to make the same painting 3 times - first with 1250 strokes, then 350 strokes, and finally with only 50 strokes.

It was so cool doing this experiment, and my mindset and process for each piece was quite different, so I hope you enjoy following along!

.blend files and pre-made brushes will be included.

ASSORTED REAL TIME PROCESS VIDEOS

This month, I'll be be focusing on the process of painting this pop up artwork.

Here is a look at the printed version of this card, and how it opens. 

I'll be focusing on the painting process because my process for creating the pop-up mechanism is still a learning experience and a bit of a mess to be honest. I hope to have it streamlined enough to be able to share it for future pop up pieces, but this month I'll just focus on the painting process.

Uploaded, 3.5 hours

I've also included the first half of my process creating this personal painting in Blender. I explain why I sketched this piece partly upside down, and also how I use textures in my colouring process.

Uploaded: 2+ hours

IN TOTAL

8+ hours of footage which you can download and watch at your own pace, whether that's real time or sped up! Many of these videos include real time narration from me as I work.

I've also included links to the unlisted youtube videos, for which I've included timestamps and video descriptions about my process.
