Dedouze is passionate about developing personal art and innovative techniques as well as making a living from his creations.This book describes how to access the Grease Pencil component in Blender and create 2D Animation within the Blender 3D environment. He discovered Blender's potential while working on a fully animated opening scene for a TV series, using the new Greasepencil tool in the beta version of Blender 2.8. He has worked on storyboards and 2D/3D animation for French TV series, music videos and French feature films. Dedouze switched to a full-time freelance career as an illustrator in 2018. He learned to draw with traditional mediums and in CGI during his free spare time, while he worked as a web developer. Blender is a free, open-source 3D graphics and animation tool that can be downloaded here (where you'll find Dedouze's work is currently featured): ĭedouze is a self-taught illustrator and animator based in Paris. Participants must be prepared with a PC or laptop with Blender pre-installed as well as a computer mouse. This masterclass is for artists and designers working in diverse fields involving motion graphics, including: animation, illustration, concept art, web development, advertising, etc. 2D animation will be tackled with Blenders sophisticated Greasepencil tool.
