I’m currently testing Liero’s SVG export solution and will report back on that. There is no proper svg export for Blender 2.8 yet (freestyle with the svg addon didn’t export the artwork properly for me).You can add a new object in object mode with shift+a –> grease pencil –> blank and then take that object into draw mode. But for complex artwork I recommend creating multiple grease pencil objects. These are handy for organizing strokes and fills inside a single grease pencil object (like a single character).
Grease pencil objects also have their own layer system which you can locate from the “object data properties” tab in the right side properties area.
In this post I will document the things I learn while using the grease pencil tool to create vector art in Blender. After trying Inkscape for a moment and having some frustrations with the user interface there, I decided to return to my favorite software: Blender. I’m currently working on a project in which I need to create a lot of vector drawings.
