ugh, you ever have an argument with someone that swears ghosts are real? I've got that feeling right now. I'm done with this thread :P To the OP: the current gen workflow doesn't require you to have much in the way of drawing skills so you should be fine. Maybe I'm a bit biased because I work in the "old school" field of…
So as far i listen Feng ZHu, he actually want to tell that, to start to draw or something else, you need to start at very young age, like any other professional, started to do what they want, at age 10. That's the reason they work now any big studios and they are so good.
in graphic art talent could be high obsession to art and design. they voluntarily draw or make things over and over because simply love it ( or if that the only source of their income) then artistic growth became autopilot. some example ... :…
It's not "born talent", but some folks "get it" easier than others simply based upon the way they process information, the same way some people "get" math faster than others. Like anything else, drawing well can be learned through practice and hard work, as well as paying attention to principles and rules of design.
Seriously nonsensical self defeatist nonsense. How can you be born to do art? That does not make any sense. Their is no evolutionary selection for art(as far as I can tell). Artists do not produce more offspring than everyone else. We havent had art nearly long enough for it to be selected for. How can you be born to hold…
Ruz: if I focused on drawing for 5 years and end up being as good as your heroes would you shrug and say I just have some genetic advantage over you or would you come over to my side of thinking? I find the current gen art pipeline tedious and boring so I may have to switch over to concept art if the "old school" diffuse…
You could get away with that a bit but you'll have to follow the rules as someone said in an earlier post in this thread. You can draw and not post any progress and learn all on your own in secret so no one can say your not good but doing little things here and their will help you. Also how are you going to make…
you don't have to start at a young age. it's just a matter of time spent practicing -> skill improvement. Starting at a young age gives you a head-start. at the same time, though, the ratio of practice to skill level is (usually) much lower at a younger age. If you put in 10 years from the age of 20-30, you're progress…
Yes, some people are naturally better at some things than other people (holy megafuck, mind = blown!, amirite?) And while that might be enough to make someone the most bestest drawer in their high school drawing class, it doesn't really amount to anything beyond that. The not-so-secret secret lies in hard work and study. I…
Just relax man. :\ In a studio setting, concept artists usually provide the designs for you. Or an art director or your lead will provide the refs. Can you model or sculpt from a model sheet (ortho), from a concept art, photo ref (say, if you work on a military shooter for example that requires accurate uniforms). It's…
