Rigging and Animating Colors with Grease Pencil

A blue character floats near a couch with a sleeping dog, a heart symbol hovers between them.

Yana Zavialova shares her technique for animating Grease Pencil colors.

Today I want to share not just my final work, but what I learned in the process. A cool rigging trick that will give extra artistic freedom to your characters! It might have happened to you: you link your rig into a scene – and all materials are sort of locked. You can adjust them only in the rig file. But what if you wanted to animate the color of your character?

Here’s the quick tutorial, with added notes on Blender Artists:

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 Community Lead at n8n.
