Draw on the scene view with Grease Pencil

To draw with the Grease Pencil

1. Click the Grease Pencil icon in a panel toolbar, or select View > Camera Tools > Grease Pencil Tool.

   The Grease Pencil Tool displays.

   
2. In the Time Slider, go to the frame where you want to create a sketch.
3. Select the brush you want, then click and drag to draw on top of the scene view.
   

   To erase brush strokes on the current sketch, select the Eraser tool . If you have a Wacom tablet and the latest drivers installed, you can also use the stylus eraser.

   A Grease Pencil frame is added to the Time Slider, and a 1024 x 1024 transparent plane (texture file) is attached to the current camera.

   
   Note: The Grease Pencil tool lets you draw on the current frame by default. If you want to disable this feature and only allow drawing on frames once you click , turn off the Auto Create Frames option in the View > Camera Tools > Grease Pencil Tool setting.
4. Repeat steps 2 - 4 at any other frame to create a sequence of Grease Pencil drawings.

   By default, a ghost of each sketch displays before and after the actual Grease Pencil frame. See also Control blending of Grease Pencil images.
