It covers cel shading, screen tones, a hatch shader, and outlines, combining them into one cohesive look. The tutorial requires Node Wrangler, Blender's built-in add-on for working with nodes. XippoArt also has a separate video covering three different methods for creating outlines in Blender, explaining the advantages and limitations of each. A related resource, Komikaze by Rahul Parihar, offers over 200 stylized shaders and assets for comic- and toon-style art in Blender. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I create a comic-style (NPR) shader with outlines in Blender? A tutorial by XippoArt combines cel shading, screen tones, a hatch shader, and outlines into one cohesive comic-inspired look. The workflow relies on Node Wrangler, Blender's built-in add-on for quickly working with shader nodes, and the artist also has a separate video breaking down three different outline methods with their respective advantages and limitations. _Blender artists building stylized looks can track tutorials like this one on daily.dev._ ### What add-on do I need for building complex node-based shaders in Blender? Node Wrangler, Blender's built-in add-on for working with nodes quickly and efficiently, is used in a comic-style shader tutorial that layers cel shading, screen tones, a hatch shader, and outlines. It speeds up common node-editing tasks so artists can combine multiple shading effects into one cohesive material setup. _Anyone speeding up Blender shader workflows can keep an eye on tool tips like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Tutorial: How To Make Any Texture Look Painterly In Blender](https://daily.dev/posts/tutorial-how-to-make-any-texture-look-painterly-in-blender-mxecvvphu) · 80 LEVEL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [3D Take on Wolverine with a Toon Shader Made with Blender](https://daily.dev/posts/3d-take-on-wolverine-with-a-toon-shader-made-with-blender-ocmsttlwj) · 80 LEVEL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [How To Create Hand-Painted 3D Model Of Marvel's Cyclops](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-create-hand-painted-3d-model-of-marvel-s-cyclops-qvjmxaqjz) · 80 LEVEL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#game-development](https://daily.dev/tags/game-development), [#3d](https://daily.dev/tags/3d), [#blender](https://daily.dev/tags/blender) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-create-vibrant-comic-style-shader-in-blender-cfzurny5a) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"How To Create Vibrant Comic-Style Shader In Blender","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-create-vibrant-comic-style-shader-in-blender-cfzurny5a","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-create-vibrant-comic-style-shader-in-blender-cfzurny5a"},"datePublished":"2026-10-28T14:03:32.527Z","dateModified":"2026-10-28T15:02:58.128Z","description":"A tutorial by XippoArt shows how to build a comic-style shader with outlines in Blender.
