Sculpting and drawing are somehow the same thing. When sculpting you practice drawing skills and vice versa. You can become a decent sculptor even if you don't practice drawing but I strongly believe you will never become an incredible sculptor if you can't draw well.
I used to ride the train to work and my goal was to draw on the train everyday. After doing that a while I realized I wasn't getting much better and was just drawing similarly weird creatures. I decided to download some Sargent drawings to my phone and try and copy how he drew. It helped me a ton. I was no longer just…

And in forward rendering, that's also an extra draw call per material per per-pixel light (so for 2 per-pixel lights, we're now at 2 draw calls and 4 draw calls, respectively). And, depending on the…
