2D Background and Animation Blender Grease Pencil and Photoshop

This tutorial will guide you from sketch to final background creation with animation.

There is no recording of the process because there was a lot of trial and error until a solid pipeline was found.

I will do my best to share my process and guide you along the way. Think of it more as a process break rather than a step by step instructional guide.

You will need some basics of Blender and Grease Pencil to understand what I will be doing.
