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.

Use collections to organize your grease pencil objects.

It helps to turn on the symbol that says “Selection mask: only sculpt selected stroke points between other strokes” so that you can control which strokes are effected (by first selecting them in edit mode before sculpting).

The grease pencil sculpting features are absolutely amazing.

It’s not an ideal solution, but works quite nicely in practice. In the meanwhile I simply draw white color (or whatever color the hole should be) on top of my graphics and later vectorize the render in a vector program like Inkscape.

The grease pencil doesn’t support boolean operations yet, but it seems like this feature is in active development at the moment (written this on 30th of may in 2020).

Go to the materials tab and make sure that you have enabled “fill” in the material properties.

If you are having trouble with fills, it’s likely because of your material.

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.
