📖✨ Magic Storybook Part 2 Release | Turn 2D Art into 3D Experiences!
Hey Reader,
Zach here,
Have you ever wondered how to give your 3D scenes that 2D look?
Imagine creating colorful drawings, but instead of sitting on a flat page, it exists in 3D space, as if you could step inside.
Our Magic Storybook course, created by our talented instructor and CG artist Kevin Ramirez, teaches you just that.
In this course, you learn how to utilize Blender's 2D drawing and animation tool called Grease Pencil, which allows you to create a hybrid of 2D and 3D scenes.
In the already released Part 1 of the course, you learn the basics of Grease Pencil and how to create a vivid animated fantasy village scene, by mainly drawing 2D strokes in 3D space.
Now, we are super excited to share that Part 2 just released, which completes the course.
In this new update you'll learn how to use more advanced Grease Pencil workflows and how to create 3D scenes (with actual 3D meshes), and give it that 2D look with cartoon shaders and Grease Pencil techniques.
Check out the new course trailer that provides more info on Part 2:
So, what exactly will you learn in part 2?
- Advanced Grease Pencil workflows
- Hybrid 2D and 3D workflow
- Create an Alchemy Lab scene from scratch
- Basic Grease Pencil rigging
- Stylized 2D and NPR lighting
- And much more
You can get the course 20% off until December 4th 16:00 CET as part of our Black Friday sale.

This update comes free for all existing course owners. So just login and enjoy the new content.
By far the most exciting part of releasing more educational content to our courses is seeing the creative and amazing scenes our students create.
I can’t wait to see what you create next.
Enjoy!
