Animating in Blender Grease Pencil! Come join me as I animate with this Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)!

Welcome to my channel! I'm Joel and I love drawing, animating and telling stories. As I learn more about art and animation techniques, I try them out and post them here.

Hello everyone, I've been away for a while, and the reason for that has been that I graduated university, and I am now working my first ever Job in Animation. So the question I have for you is, which would you prefer? a video based on one of my University assignments, discussing the benefits of Open Source software in animation, or a run down of what it's been like working in the animation industry for the last 2 months? Let me know!

I've been learning about programming in Blender, and I made an addon to help with the action constraint process. This is super helpful for cutout animations, with head turns etc. I'll put out a video on it soon.

I've been a bit silent this last month. I have been working on a 7-minute long animation for a competition, which I'll publish after judging is complete.

But first, Part 4 of the Blender Greasepencil Head Turn tutorial series will be coming out today.
