I’ve always been fond of 2D hand drawn games and so for my graduation work I researched and made a few shaders with which you can create a variety of 2D looks. Here is a showcase video of the main shader in action. I will be posting my paper with a breakdown on it for free on my artstation within the next few days. Hopefully it can help people who are also interested in styles like these/NPR! More info can be found on my artstation:
Underneath you can find a ton of additional resources.
