Thanks for the question, the new Grease pencil is quite good to draw with! A simple way to rotate the view is the only thing really missing for line drawing. I dabble in animation, mixing 2D and 3D, so I try to get comfortable drawing in Blender, this way I can animate parts of the drawing or the whole drawing later. Hope this clarifies why I like to draw in Blender, cheers!
@@antoonsorg There are two ways, 1. With fill tool and material selected, click in shape once, scroll wheel to extend lines, click again to fill. or 2. Draw the fill material, create a layer below line layer, choose fill material and draw the fill shape. Hope these help!
I'll add on that grease pencil is vector-based rather than pixel-based, meaning it has perfect resolution at all levels of detail, and additionally each stroke essentially *can* serve as its own 'layer', meaning it can be animated, distorted, recolored, etc. - and in Blender 4.3 Grease Pencil curves can be treated as geometry nodes objects containing all of their drawing data. Additionally they interact with Blender's shaders system. So if you wanted to do something cool like make an animated spark that travels over the length of your lineart, or make all the lines fill in from start to finish at staggered intervals like the piece is suddenly coalescing all at once, those are both *very* easy to do.
Hey Thanks! New grease pencil changed something about smoothing, latency or other basic drawing function, it feels more natural now. They have also changed the UI slightly, placing the drawing tools on the asset shelf on the low edge of the screen. But 4.3 is under developement so still curious how the outcome will be!
Hey! Thats in developement version of new grease pencil in Blender 4.3 alpha, might do in depth review-video soon (spoiler: its very nice to draw with!)
@@prabhuramselvan Hey! I just figured it out: enable "Grease pencil tools" built in addon, after that, ctrl alt mouse wheel will rotate the screen. You can reset screen rotation by clicking on th top right gizmo
