CREATE WITH ME

The theme for this month's series is "getting the SMOOTHEST color transitions with grease pencil"

For this month's Create With Me, I wanted to take you through all aspects of a new painting method I've been trying out. It involves creating a pixel canvas in Blender, and allows me to get incredibly smooth, soft colour transitions. I explain 3 methods we can do using this technique, and then share how I combine this with textures to get a look that I find really beautiful.

Includes:

• 3 .blend files at different stages of my process. These include pre-made brushes and textures.
• 3 videos (2.5 hours total, 1 hour is narrated. Can be downloaded or streamed, timestamps included)
• A document also containing the timestamps and any relevant links (such as to youtube videos or resource packs)
• Selected clips (about 10 minutes of sections I found especially important)
• All reference images I use
  

ASSORTED REAL TIME PROCESS VIDEOS

This process video was created to compliment this month's Create with Me series, since it uses the same painting technique.

Rather than listing out the timestamps in a bullet point list, I took a new approach this time, creating a color-coded bar at the bottom of the video, with a cursor that indicates where we are.

Also included is a blog post analyzing the different sections and how long I spent doing each part of my process.

For next month, I want to focus the Create With Me series around how I make 2D/3D art! A lot of the process videos I post in April will also focus on this, as I share my process making this current artwork:

And so, to end off this month with a sneak peek at what's to come, I've compiled my process starting the 2D portion of this piece. From setting up the file, to sketching, adding textures, and finally starting to render, this gives a taste of my whole 2D process. This is a 1-hour video with a color-coded bar at the bottom breaking down the different sections.

IN TOTAL

4.5 hours of footage which you can stream or download. Many of these videos include real time narration from me as I work.
