Grease Pencil feature request: 2D Bevel Tool (Blender 2.90)
Hello guys. I would like to propose a feature that would allow the user to bevel corners inside grease pencil.
There are a lot of ways to smotthen a sketch or stroke but I am finding this tool from affinity designer to very useful in smotthing corners speedilly and manually. This tool makes it easier to draw shapes while not being too concerned with the curve smoothness.
This will not only make the sketching job more fast but much easier and more precise. This would also make it more possible to draw a decent art just by using a mouse because of this tool.
Thanks.

Hi! Blastframe has just released a design add-on called 'Grease Pencil: Design' with Bevel as one of the features: blastframe.com/products/grease-pencil-design
It is all about besier curves. Not GP. GP based on streight lines from vertex to vertex.
* @ Vyacheslav * I have also always thougt about that. Once I tried affinity dssigner I have noticed that a workflow combination between the bezier and bevel tool makes everything faster, easier, and also more consisrent.
It is very helpful in making complex objects with different types and sizes of corners. The bevel tool works as a way to prepare the objects average shape quickly and the tweaking or precise adjustment is done by the bezier handles. The good thing about it is that the 2d bevel tool creates a more consistent and cleaner shapes of smooth corners. If you look at the video, all of those corners are created just around a minute and if you plan to tweak some of it, then that would be the time for the bezier handles to do the tweaking.
It would be very nice if most of the users can create those kind of corners quiclkly and consistently just by using the bezier handles but I am not sure if this would be a reaslistic approach. Bezier tool is very useful but combining it with a 2d bevel would trully be a game changer, making the workflow signoficantly fasfer, snappier, and simpler.
* @johnpdelacruz26 * I agree that besier and GP should have more abilities o convert back and forth, also having some curve tools for GP would be nice.
