Finally tried Blender's Grease Pencil

This isn't a new feature in Blender.. its just something I ignored for a long time.. finally decided to give it a whirl today, and it does not disappoint! Originally meant as a quick way to make notes or annotate a 3d model this tool has gone on to more advanced and glorious things :)


The tools are much more refined since when I first tried the grease pencil years back.. now it even has animation capabilities.. with onion skinning!!
Aaand its pressure sensitive with my wacom!

Heres a quick gif of my first animated clip with blender grease pencil..

and heres a screengrab of the animation in blender.. with onionskins.. and wait for it.. thats right you can fly around it because all these lines are 3d objects!!
