Blender Grease Pencil and Freestyle + CSP. Yes Froge.
Wanted to try something different. It was both fun and challenging and a learning experience.

Well, I'm learning a new toolset (rather relearning one I dabbled in ages ago and kinda forgot about). It was frustrating, challenging, and working in this style does NOT come naturally but I did have fun and I will almost certainly do this again. I love Blender. :D
But more than that, this kinda felt like coming home in a way. I used to work in styles more like this back when I was younger and less worried about impressing everyone with my overabundance of tedious little details. This might be entirely imagined but I feel a pressure to keep up the detail and realism lest people get bored. This was kind of a rebuttal of that mindset. It was cathartic and nostalgic.
Make sense?

this is 𝕔𝕣𝕪𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕝 for me
you used to work in styles like this, eh?
and weren't as concerned about minutiæ, as present
so i see
well. . . . .
. . . . .presently, i'm able to envision a "new" branch in your pathing, madame
you could dabble in this style some more — and i wouldn't complain
by one bit
if you were interested in pursuing it further, of course
i get the sense that, by maybe your 3rd or 4th time, you'll´ve fairly-mastered this alternative hand..
..and be able to "switch it up" on us at random
ah
no, i have not found frogè
´seems i gotta go back and try again

that one seems like a "goof"
https://prnt.sc/s0q9Y3IcBjB7
this is my actual guess
i've spent a fair-several minutes searching — though, technically, the latter guess represents my findings from about a minute into the effort
i'm not feeling great about either..
..and if neither are correct, i'll (gladly) cede my defeat to you once more, b.j.p.

Oooooooooh boooyyeeeeee you asked for it.... >8D
Okay, so, to begin with, Grease Pencil is a tool in Blender that used to be a throwaway feature but somewhere along the line, it became an actually serious animation tool. Which is great and all but that's not the only thing it does. It can also be used to draw on meshes, give objects outlines, generate special effects, and when combined with geometry nodes, there's no end to the absolutely crazy bullshit you can do with it. I've seen people draw GP strokes across their screens which resulted in a trail of foliage, bricks, rubble, particle effects, and more. I shall, for your convenience, throw in some videos demonstrating the awesomeness of Grease Pencil....

There's so much more but I figured this is a good "Grease Pencil Starter Pack". I'm still in the process of learning Blender NPR workflows myself so consider me a moderately advanced noob but I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.
