360 panoramic drawing in Blender 2.8

This tutorial shows different approaches to create a 360 panoramic drawing in Blender 2.8 using grease pencil.


360 workflow in Blender is much more streamlined and powerful comparing to previous techniques I used to use in Photoshop or 3D-coat.

This technique allows you to draw a 360 drawing without using a sphere, which overall opens quite unique ways of combining drawing and 3D to create a complete 360 drawing.


Topics covered:

Blender 2.8 Navigation

Blender 2.8 Essentials

Stroke Modes

Setting up 360 workspace in Blender

Setting up HDRI grids

Different methods on 360 drawing in Blender

Creating a 360 drawing from scratch


Includes:
  • Narrated video tutorials (2.4 hours)
  • Timelapse making-of`s (31 minutes)
  • Blender files
  • 360 Grid


Requirements:

Blender 2.8

Suitable for all levels. NOTE: It is not mandatory, but I highly recommend watching my previous blender tutorials, since this one doesn`t cover Grease Pencil basics.
