Rigging Unique Inky Characters in Blender

Ever dreamed of turning your 2D designs into a fully rigged 2.5D character that can be looked at from every angle?

We start with a cube and, in no time, we get a fully rigged, ready-to-animate character including an efficient face rig system.

Using brushes, compositor nodes, and Grease Pencil techniques we'll make something you’ve never seen before; inky, hand drawn characters brought to life in 3D!

This course will cover:

  • Translate inky hand-drawn illustrations into 3D world while retaining 2D look

  • Simple techniques to Model your character from scratch

  • Effectively use Grease Pencil and modifiers to achieve a hand-drawn and painted effect

  • Rig your character effectively and simply

  • Create an efficient face rig system and add subtle animation

As always, we’re about more than just pushing buttons; this course will teach you the thinking process.

So you’ll become a 2.5D expert, able to complete professional rigging jobs and make infinite characters with this beautiful tactile style.

Our course results feel almost magical; no one will believe that they’re not looking at a hand drawn illustration!
