EmesZack
3D Artist
Hi, everyone! I'm EmesZack.
I'm a Blender Generalist who can work
with a variety of styles like Lo-fi & BNPR
(Blender Non Photo-Realistic)
from modeling, texturing, and lighting
to compositing and rendering.
My main work revolves around my original anime characters.
Currently I'm working on a short film project
using Blender's 2D feature Grease Pencil.
I've taught myself to be attentive to detail over the years,
and it has helped me greatly in creating eye-catching art.
I'm also passionate about teaching people
who want to learn Blender and expand their art style.
Through this class, I want to share
what I have experimented and learned
creating numerous Lo-fi animations.
I believe this class will be a great guideline
for your Blender journey as a beginning artist.

Interview with
Expert 3D Artist
EmesZack
Animation and Music have always been my inspiration. By creating Lo-fi art, I could combine those two mediums into one. I also wanted to show the wide range of styles you can create using Blender, a 3D animation tool to create high-quality animations and visual effects. Among the different styles, I found the Lo-fi animation style using Grease Pencil visually attractive. I believe learning how to create Lo-fi animations will broaden your perspective in creating a variety of styles in Blender.
Question.02
Could you please share how you started your journey in the industry?
Could you please share how you started your journey in the industry?
This class is special because we're creating a believable 2D animation using 3D software. There aren't a lot of classes that use Grease Pencil to create a Lo-fi animation. The Lo-fi animation style is very trendy and eye-catching, and I'll teach you to coordinate a specific set of colors that will match your animation perfectly. To sum it all, I believe learning the entire process of creating a Lo-fi animation with Grease Pencil techniques will be a unique experience for students.
Question.03
What would be the most important takeaway from your class?
What would be the most important takeaway from your class?
It would be understanding the entire workflow of creating a Lo-fi animation. Just as it is important to learn specific techniques, it is important to understand the entire workflow in order to work efficiently when dealing with a non-conventional style of art. Another important takeaway is learning how to use various features in Blender, especially the Grease Pencil. It's a powerful tool to transform everyday backgrounds into aesthetic Lo-fi animation.
