Expanding the Eat Sheep Story | Building a real comic book with Blender

Eat Sheep is a passion project created by the humans behind http://cgcookie.com. For over a decade CG Cookie has been known as the place to learn Blender. It makes sense to share our experiences building Eat Sheep to the community in an educational way, let's get started. 

As most creatives know, it's not all sunshine and rainbows, though hopefully sharing our experiences with you will encourage sunny days. 

With the Blender Grease Pencil tool playing a large role in our storyboard production, we wanted to share some of that knowledge in an upcoming course on CG Cookie called PANELS by Paul Caggegi. 

Furthermore this enabled us to have some fun exploring the Eat Sheep story, setting the stage for other realms and the struggles Monsters and Sheep navigate. 

Introducing the Comic, EAT SHEEP | All EWE can eat!

In this course we'll explore all that Grease Pencil has to offer through the process of making a real life comic book.

This mini 8-page comic + cover will explore the harsh reality of the Eat Sheep world; Wranger's are harvesting wool from sheep in unhealthy quantities, while hunting sheep eating Monsters who endanger their profits.

• Gain an overview of Grease Pencil including a custom startup file, 
• You'll learn to create a PAGE TEMPLATE and BO LAYOUT, 
• Following along as we DRAW the comic, 
• Learn how to render it for PRINT.
• Dive further into the Eat Sheep realm... 

Fueled by Blender's Grease Pencil, we'll be exploring thumb-nailing, pencils, inking, coloring, shading, effects and text. 

Slated to be released this fall on http://cgcookie.com 🍪
