WEBVTT 00:01.580 --> 00:03.780 Welcome to the grease pencil. 00:03.780 --> 00:07.490 Now a grease pencil has many many uses. 00:07.490 --> 00:09.910 We're going to go through only a few of them here. 00:09.920 --> 00:12.930 But of course feel free to play with them as you go. 00:12.930 --> 00:19.940 So it's great for making notes on your model is good for sketching and planning ideas. 00:19.940 --> 00:25.610 If you got an idea and you want to as I say quickly sketch it out you can do so with the grease pencil 00:26.240 --> 00:31.250 roughing out shapes and I'll be doing that using the grease pencil to do that too rough out where the 00:31.250 --> 00:33.240 eyes are going to go etc.. 00:33.680 --> 00:40.290 So converting two edges is well we can convert the lines we actually draw to a curve and then curve 00:40.380 --> 00:46.320 to an edge because the grease pencil itself when you draw a line we see in a moment. 00:46.340 --> 00:52.000 It's actually made up of a series of points and those points can be changed and edited. 00:52.100 --> 00:55.980 Much like vertices and edges are connected together. 00:56.060 --> 00:59.340 It can be used to also create 2D animations. 00:59.450 --> 01:06.110 Just like most things in blender you can animates the grease pencil so I'm sure some of you have already 01:06.110 --> 01:11.210 seen that some people have used the grease pencil to actually make some animated sketches. 01:11.210 --> 01:12.290 Which is wonderful. 01:12.290 --> 01:17.290 We won't be going into too many details with that but suffice to say you can do that. 01:17.720 --> 01:22.320 So let's go explore the grease pencil now and hop on over in a blender. 01:23.180 --> 01:28.850 Okay so we're back over in blender here and one of the first things that I want to do is just show you 01:28.850 --> 01:32.980 where some of the options are for the grease pencil itself. 01:33.020 --> 01:39.710 So at the moment we've got our head selected here and I've not named it yet so I'm going to go ahead 01:39.770 --> 01:44.320 and name it head because just cool Cube isn't very descriptive. 01:44.650 --> 01:48.260 Now on the tall shelf itself there is a grease pencil tab. 01:48.260 --> 01:52.580 You may have to scroll down if your operator panel is quite high. 01:52.580 --> 01:57.280 So those are the grease pen so we can see a couple of options on the tool shelf there. 01:57.380 --> 02:02.960 We can also see the grease pencil options on the propertys panel so it's not open you can open that 02:02.960 --> 02:04.310 would be in key. 02:04.580 --> 02:06.800 I will if I can see it. 02:06.800 --> 02:14.120 I've got my background image there is scrolled up a little ivory gate grease pencils even turn the grease 02:14.120 --> 02:18.480 pencil on and off there so like showing it and hiding it again. 02:18.620 --> 02:21.650 And we can see here that we've got layers as well. 02:21.770 --> 02:28.430 So there's a couple of ways that we can add a grease pencil to our scene itself or to an object. 02:28.490 --> 02:32.000 Now in general I would advise adding it to the scene. 02:32.090 --> 02:38.310 However if it is to do with a specific object in your drawings are basically can get in the way. 02:38.370 --> 02:44.060 Is it when you hide that object you can have a link to the object so that wherever you've selected it 02:44.060 --> 02:45.590 we switch this now to objects. 02:45.590 --> 02:52.160 We will see that the grease pens will be linked to the head so that when we start drawing in a few moments 02:52.400 --> 02:54.880 we can see that it's attached to the head. 02:54.890 --> 02:57.510 And if we hide the head it will also disappear. 02:57.890 --> 02:59.640 So let's have a look and. 02:59.660 --> 03:05.630 Well there's a couple of ways of starting new we can go and click on draw a line or arrays or poly at 03:05.630 --> 03:06.710 the top here. 03:07.310 --> 03:10.540 We can have a look at clicking new here as well. 03:10.610 --> 03:15.510 Or you can hold down the key in the d key will start The drawing process. 03:16.290 --> 03:21.060 Now one thing that I've always found useful if I'm looking for a shortcut key and I can't find it in 03:21.060 --> 03:23.040 the menus and places like that. 03:23.160 --> 03:30.240 But I know what the function is called I will go to the user preferences go to the input tab and search 03:30.270 --> 03:31.430 for what we're looking for. 03:31.470 --> 03:39.000 If I go and type in Greece it doesn't come up with anything that is not that useful. 03:39.000 --> 03:41.580 It would help if I spelled Greece correctly. 03:41.580 --> 03:44.700 Okay so we can see here we've got Greece pencil jaw now. 03:44.720 --> 03:50.730 They're not defined with their names here but we can see that we've got the and the left mouse is going 03:50.730 --> 03:55.200 to do something controlled day and the left mouse will do something controlled in the right mouse or 03:55.200 --> 03:59.830 do something and control at the right mouse will also do something. 03:59.880 --> 04:08.540 And when we open that up we can see that the and right mouse is going to switch on the eraser. 04:08.540 --> 04:13.830 Every time I open up these other ones here is going to be full of stuff and I don't recommend you ever 04:13.830 --> 04:16.820 go in and play with these but just for information. 04:16.830 --> 04:20.670 Dean left mouse is going to draw freehand draw a straight line. 04:20.670 --> 04:25.830 If you hold down control at the same time draw a poly line as well so there's lots of options and is 04:25.830 --> 04:30.300 going to close that not save anything and that links to these four buttons at the top here so there 04:30.300 --> 04:31.500 is a shortcut for that. 04:31.650 --> 04:32.700 So let's give it a go. 04:32.700 --> 04:36.850 Let's hold down the key and just oh there we go. 04:37.700 --> 04:39.330 I've drawn a spiral. 04:39.590 --> 04:45.920 Now the moment I've done that I am on the right hand side on the property panel a new layer has appeared. 04:45.920 --> 04:49.740 Now we can press the plus key here and add another layer. 04:49.800 --> 04:56.240 And of course once we've added another layer I can hold down the the key again and draw a smiley face 04:56.240 --> 04:58.310 or whatever you happen to be during. 04:58.310 --> 05:02.990 It's entirely up to you and the great thing about using layers it does mean that if you delete if you 05:02.990 --> 05:05.710 want it gone you can just press the minus button and delete it. 05:05.720 --> 05:08.730 You can name it what you need to name it as well. 05:09.600 --> 05:15.960 There are some further options down here so with the this one squiggled the spiral that we've done. 05:16.050 --> 05:21.930 If we change the stroke call the fill we can actually change the colour of the line itself so you can 05:21.930 --> 05:24.250 make it green if necessary or red. 05:24.270 --> 05:29.640 It would depend on the model because if you're a black might not always be a great colour to use if 05:29.640 --> 05:33.930 the model you're working on is black for instance so we can change the colour there as we go we can 05:33.930 --> 05:37.310 change the thickness of the line and it is pressure sensitive. 05:37.320 --> 05:40.430 By the way so if I go ahead and hold down deep. 05:40.440 --> 05:43.170 Now I'm using my iPad to draw here. 05:43.170 --> 05:45.190 I've actually got a a stylus. 05:45.240 --> 05:48.800 If I press lightly as you can see it's quite thin. 05:48.800 --> 05:52.780 And then as I press heavier it gets thicker of fickleness. 05:52.810 --> 05:57.420 If I can tell that off to a thin line it's by no means an artistic package. 05:57.420 --> 06:01.680 Never using the mouse I just grab the mouse and hold down deep and start drawing. 06:01.680 --> 06:03.810 It's going to be the thickness. 06:03.960 --> 06:09.020 It that you've got set over here because with a mouse there's no pressure sensitivity. 06:09.390 --> 06:16.920 So the final thing here is x ray and I'm going to go for you can turn on the points of course or ever 06:16.920 --> 06:18.710 do volume but points. 06:18.740 --> 06:23.180 Just turn the size down you can see the points that I was talking about. 06:23.220 --> 06:26.250 It's me that's actually making up this line. 06:26.250 --> 06:28.270 I'm just going to turn that back off again. 06:28.650 --> 06:32.940 So we've got these three scribbles that I've made here I'm just going to turn the thickness slightly 06:32.940 --> 06:38.410 back up again so we've got the thick and thin stuff so x ray can be very useful. 06:38.430 --> 06:39.270 Here we see. 06:39.270 --> 06:43.810 I've managed to draw inside our model so if I turn off x ray you won't. 06:43.860 --> 06:44.270 Here we go. 06:44.270 --> 06:46.020 You can see the bit that comes out the back. 06:46.020 --> 06:52.050 So if you're drawing on certain things that you need to see through you can turn x ray on just like 06:52.050 --> 06:53.920 we could with the bones and armatures. 06:53.940 --> 07:00.810 Now you will notice that all of these are lying on a plane and I moved the 3D cursor So it's where the 07:00.810 --> 07:05.720 3D cursor is will be the actual point that the plane passes through. 07:05.880 --> 07:09.870 And then your view where you're looking will be the rest. 07:09.870 --> 07:13.260 Now there are a couple of other things that you may want to do. 07:13.380 --> 07:19.290 So if I scoot around to the front of my face here at the moment you can see if we look on the left hand 07:19.290 --> 07:24.690 side under the grease pencil we can see that it's currently set to cursor. 07:24.690 --> 07:28.810 So the one you're going to be during the stroke at where ever the 3D cursor is. 07:28.950 --> 07:31.920 We can do the view now the views quite use. 07:32.190 --> 07:39.650 If we KRIT go ahead here and create a new layer and I put a smiley face up the top here and must remember 07:39.670 --> 07:41.640 hold down day as I go. 07:41.640 --> 07:45.690 Incidentally you can just click on draw and draw away. 07:45.690 --> 07:52.020 The problem with just drawing and without continuous ticked on the left hand side is every time you 07:52.050 --> 07:52.820 start. 07:52.920 --> 07:58.710 Basically stop clicking or holding down the left mouse button. 07:58.710 --> 08:05.190 The drawing will just stop so you can actually turn on continuous click draw draw a circle draw and 08:05.190 --> 08:06.800 then draw the rest of your smiley face. 08:06.800 --> 08:08.400 It's whatever you do. 08:08.490 --> 08:13.110 I personally prefer to just hold down the d key whenever I need to annotate But now we've done these 08:13.110 --> 08:14.260 smiley faces here. 08:14.340 --> 08:20.150 You can see because it's the view it's completely independent of where we're looking at our model. 08:20.160 --> 08:23.720 That's great for making notes or whatever you need to do. 08:23.730 --> 08:28.120 It does mean that when you move your model around that does not disappear. 08:28.380 --> 08:36.350 And as I was saying earlier if I now hide the head everything goes because we're linked to the object. 08:36.360 --> 08:40.390 I'm going to read or bring back the head angle switch the scene view. 08:41.320 --> 08:44.140 And you'll notice Oh well where's all my stuff gone. 08:45.360 --> 08:46.210 Where has it gone. 08:46.560 --> 08:50.940 We need to have the head selected in order to bring it back. 08:51.120 --> 08:56.240 So don't panic if you literally if you select something else it will disappear. 08:56.310 --> 09:01.690 So that's another reason why perhaps having it on the scene view would be a good idea. 09:01.690 --> 09:05.910 Of course once it's on the scene view it doesn't matter what you've got selected. 09:05.910 --> 09:12.490 If I go ahead here with it in view and go out of a hole down the right key as well Aaron go. 09:12.600 --> 09:18.480 So if I go and draw my smiley face that I had earlier it doesn't it now doesn't matter what I've got 09:18.480 --> 09:21.720 selected that smiley face will be there because it's on view. 09:21.720 --> 09:23.150 I can rotate round. 09:23.670 --> 09:27.180 So the final one I think is very useful is surface. 09:27.210 --> 09:32.850 So if we now move around the front of our model I am going to draw on the model itself. 09:32.850 --> 09:38.070 I'm going to delete the layers that we've currently got on the scene so that one's gone and I never 09:38.070 --> 09:39.980 delete these two layers as well. 09:40.810 --> 09:46.380 Now with its sets on surface it literally draws on the surface of our model. 09:47.530 --> 09:56.380 So I go ahead hit deep to start drawing and say I want an eye there and I'm planning on having the nose 09:56.380 --> 09:59.940 being around there and the lips being about here. 09:59.950 --> 10:06.820 Obviously I use reference material as well but it's a good way of guiding your well basically guiding 10:06.820 --> 10:09.180 your drawing in your model. 10:09.190 --> 10:13.960 He's looking quite evil you might want to put where the hairline is now because I've drawn light that's 10:14.170 --> 10:18.810 when we scoot round to the side you can see is actually following the model itself. 10:18.910 --> 10:21.160 And that's incredibly powerful. 10:21.160 --> 10:22.330 Lots of fun. 10:22.750 --> 10:23.410 Okay guys. 10:23.410 --> 10:25.920 Now we've learned a little about the grease pencil. 10:25.930 --> 10:27.880 It's time for a challenge. 10:28.500 --> 10:32.050 I would like you to go ahead and sketch some details. 10:32.340 --> 10:38.340 So using your reference image add some grease pencil marks defining where the major features of the 10:38.340 --> 10:46.800 face will be and even go round to the side and just mark where the hair perhaps will be or V is as well. 10:46.800 --> 10:51.240 There are some features that we often forget when we're just looking at the front of a face. 10:51.270 --> 10:54.370 Now it doesn't have to be neat or detailed. 10:54.390 --> 11:00.750 Think about them as construction or guide lines and that's the use that I'm asking you to do at this 11:00.750 --> 11:01.230 point. 11:01.380 --> 11:06.620 Of course you can go as detail as you want with the grease pencil at any point. 11:06.630 --> 11:09.270 Suppose a video and give that a go. 11:11.950 --> 11:12.600 Okay guys. 11:12.610 --> 11:13.520 Welcome back. 11:13.690 --> 11:18.310 Let's go get some details on our model and hop on over into blender. 11:18.790 --> 11:23.770 Okay so I'm pretty sure that that will not be where the hairline is and those won't be where the eyes 11:23.770 --> 11:30.110 are as you scan to make sure I do sketch my details on the correct side so you can see there. 11:30.220 --> 11:32.890 This left hand side is the one that's mirrored. 11:32.980 --> 11:35.220 I'm just going to get rid of all the rest. 11:35.440 --> 11:40.030 And for the sake of transparency under there make sure that mine's on the scene. 11:40.150 --> 11:48.160 I can't see my background image at the moment so let's just make sure that they are there are how I 11:48.160 --> 11:51.060 did a bit of organising and I bet that's broken. 11:51.770 --> 11:57.370 So Mikey front profile needs to be selected. 11:58.560 --> 12:00.120 Oh I'm in the wrong folder as well. 12:00.130 --> 12:01.340 That's a great start. 12:01.340 --> 12:04.550 So there we go reference images making front. 12:06.320 --> 12:07.240 That's looking good. 12:07.240 --> 12:08.580 I'm back. 12:08.780 --> 12:11.090 The other one down here Mikey right. 12:11.300 --> 12:13.520 Let's see if that's there. 12:13.520 --> 12:14.890 No it's not so. 12:14.900 --> 12:16.330 Let's go here. 12:17.460 --> 12:19.230 In here assets. 12:19.260 --> 12:22.470 Oh no I want to go to this folder just in case I reorganize. 12:22.470 --> 12:24.800 They won't be broken then there again. 12:24.990 --> 12:26.700 So I'll actually start on the side. 12:26.730 --> 12:33.660 So looking at the grease pencil options here I would like to make sure I'm drawing on the surface I'm 12:33.660 --> 12:34.950 happy with that. 12:34.950 --> 12:38.400 Now let's find the grease pencil options. 12:40.040 --> 12:42.040 And then add a new layer. 12:44.810 --> 12:45.530 So then. 12:45.530 --> 12:46.580 And what colour. 12:46.580 --> 12:50.420 I'm going to leave it black for the moment but I can see here Virts. 12:50.590 --> 12:53.500 We've got some detail around here. 12:54.670 --> 12:57.190 Again this is me drawing with the mouse. 12:58.170 --> 13:01.340 So you can get a rough detail with the mouse. 13:01.500 --> 13:08.190 Of course as I was saying it doesn't have to be detailed So in this point we could actually undo that 13:08.190 --> 13:15.560 for instance and go ahead and put in perhaps some detail going there. 13:16.170 --> 13:16.990 Here. 13:18.660 --> 13:23.660 Really really quick stuff to try and define where things are. 13:25.160 --> 13:31.970 Just to get a rough idea of what's going on that looks okay to me in terms of is where they are now 13:31.970 --> 13:34.100 something weird has happened there. 13:34.100 --> 13:42.210 It looks like it's gripped on to literally this lamp surface has been going around there. 13:42.250 --> 13:45.770 So I'm going to hide that out of the way. 13:45.770 --> 13:51.240 Turn it off and a turn the camera off as well to prevent anything like that happening again. 13:51.440 --> 13:58.280 And then it was back around to the side and just get rid of those of course undone now hiding not great. 13:58.550 --> 14:01.300 So let's pop it there and there. 14:02.170 --> 14:03.070 Which looks good. 14:03.070 --> 14:06.820 And then you've got this bit and then that bits as well. 14:06.940 --> 14:07.660 Okay perfect. 14:07.660 --> 14:13.240 So that's my ear differ almost defines going to put this in a bits in as well. 14:13.240 --> 14:17.350 So there's my ear define and that's actually on the model itself it doesn't have to be any more details 14:17.350 --> 14:21.130 than that at the moment where in fact it probably doesn't need to be any more detail than that could 14:21.130 --> 14:23.820 because it's going to be 3D modelling brings the rest around. 14:24.100 --> 14:24.470 Okay. 14:24.490 --> 14:26.090 So around the frontier. 14:26.110 --> 14:31.340 Let's zoom in and we'll get some details. 14:31.390 --> 14:34.540 So we've got the nose which is going to be around here. 14:34.580 --> 14:38.480 I'm going to hold down deep and just literally jaw around there. 14:38.500 --> 14:44.650 We're going to have the eyes now the eyes obviously if you're working with your own picture they will 14:44.650 --> 14:52.130 vary in size shape and eyes do vary depending on your race as well. 14:52.150 --> 14:55.660 I've got a double eyelid if you're from the Far East. 14:55.990 --> 15:01.340 People don't have double eyelids out there so there's lots of different variations in shape. 15:01.420 --> 15:07.870 So and I'd love to see what you guys are doing in terms of making your model come together mean that 15:07.900 --> 15:10.890 so cavour and again these are rough drawings. 15:10.900 --> 15:12.630 They're not anything else. 15:12.700 --> 15:19.450 Now I need to do the mouth area and actually looking at this and with the model behind I can start to 15:19.450 --> 15:27.070 see the the face loops all coming together because I can see one that's literally runs all the way around 15:27.070 --> 15:31.350 here if you look at how the muscles lay underneath the mouth. 15:31.420 --> 15:39.730 That's a really bad circle or it's certainly not mirrored in any way but I can see here that that grouping 15:39.730 --> 15:42.040 they can see as one object. 15:42.040 --> 15:49.470 One group of muscles you've got the lips starting there and the bottom here is going to about there. 15:49.570 --> 15:53.740 And again because it's mirrored I shouldn't really be concerned about the other side so I'm just going 15:53.740 --> 15:59.150 to try out the Erase torso and click on that and get rid of anything. 15:59.170 --> 16:04.720 Now as you can see as I'm going around in erasing it's being quite notchy as it goes. 16:04.720 --> 16:11.350 And of course that's not a particular problem and that is simply deleting the points that have been 16:11.350 --> 16:12.290 drawn. 16:12.310 --> 16:17.840 So there we go if Gotz those bits there the top and bottom side of the mouth the grouping of running 16:17.870 --> 16:23.520 around go up to the top end just sieverts the hair line itself. 16:23.920 --> 16:33.790 If I decide to put a hair in will be somewhere starting around there and working its way down and round 16:34.300 --> 16:37.520 and then I can move to the side view. 16:38.450 --> 16:41.800 Well actually that's that's almost perfect. 16:42.110 --> 16:45.870 And here I can draw down here. 16:46.570 --> 16:48.500 To the back of their head. 16:48.580 --> 16:54.400 And of course if I wanted to I could skip round to the back but there is no reference material for about 16:54.410 --> 16:54.810 now. 16:55.000 --> 16:59.140 This is one of these examples where an x-ray is not useful. 16:59.170 --> 17:04.360 I do not want to see the detail round the front of the model when I'm working on the back so I can turn 17:04.570 --> 17:09.690 off x ray so I can actually work on where this hair will go. 17:09.940 --> 17:11.540 I haven't a clue. 17:11.650 --> 17:14.190 Probably be about balser on those eyes. 17:14.350 --> 17:19.000 And at the moment that isn't terribly important because we've and focussed on this part of the model 17:19.630 --> 17:19.990 brilliant. 17:19.990 --> 17:21.570 How did you guys get on. 17:21.580 --> 17:26.020 Love to see your sketches and the detail that you've laid out. 17:26.020 --> 17:31.930 The great thing about this now is I've got some detail to work with without having to be smack bang 17:32.260 --> 17:34.670 on the front or side views. 17:34.870 --> 17:39.260 And that is somewhat better than having a plane in your scene. 17:39.280 --> 17:42.400 We could of course import an image as a plane and then view it from there. 17:42.400 --> 17:48.960 That's great when you're using it as a literary to refer to this we are using it's a model too. 17:48.960 --> 17:54.320 So it is is quite important that the details we have them in the right place. 17:54.340 --> 18:00.490 Otherwise as we say if you don't make it look if I make it look perfect first time is going to be very 18:00.490 --> 18:01.210 difficult. 18:01.350 --> 18:06.810 But if you don't get it roughly in the right proportions it will look very very odd as great. 18:06.810 --> 18:08.620 How did you guys get on as always. 18:08.620 --> 18:13.180 Please share in the discussions and I'll see you guys in the next lecture.
