In this video, I’ll show you how to create a painterly shader in Blender Eevee using a fully procedural node setup! This method gives you full control over shading and textures while keeping everything non-destructive and stylized.

Whether you're working in NPR, exploring toon shading, or transitioning from 2D to 3D, this technique unlocks a ton of creative possibilities. Plus, I’ve included the project file on my Gumroad if you want to follow along or experiment with the setup.

Let’s get into it!
