Can you create some great looking 2D graphics in Blender? Sure you can! LightningIsMyName explains how.

I have a tutorial about creating SVG style vector graphics inside Blender. They can't be exported to SVG (yet) but they have the look of works which were done in Inkscape/Illustrator.

I always liked illustrations which seems a bit cartoonish and vector style. Many work I have seen with inkscape and illustrator astonished me. Since i can't download inkscape for now, All i was left to do was to be jealous...

Recently I found several techniques to transform blender into an illustration program such as inkscape/illustrator. With special shaders and nodes I succeeded in several effects. See the image attached for this post - all of them are vectors in blender internal with no pixel based textures.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.
