ok course,I get that point, but the original post seems to imply that you need to be a good 2d conceptualizer to succeed as a 3d guy. then we gt to debate whether workling out forms 3d is a actually drawing or not:/
Haha no i wasnt 100% serious(i thought it was pretty obvious from the futurama reference), although i can somewhat relate to Fry, i suck at drawing but its my own damn fault for not practicing.
I didnt want to offend the non drawing/painting/fingerpainting/wacom doodling people... please do not throw stones at me :) I was only trying to say that it's a great thing to do and that it gives so much that it is a shame not to even try.
okay, same thing applies to 3D, if you have a 3D background, you'll be better at 2D than someone who doesn't have that background. same discussions come up on different forums with traditional sculptors, plenty of them don't know how to draw as well as they can sculpt. i'm not discouraging him/her, but if he doesn't like…
I can make a character in 3d but I cant draw it that well. I started 3d before any interest in 2d. Only then I realized how 2d can actually help me with my character making. My biggest problem with 2d is the perspective and although I am aware of the theory but I just cant make it as perfect as it should be. This problem…
I believe it was a reference to that thread about character art posted about a week ago where Yuri's portfolio was used as an example of amazing character art done by somebody who does not draw a lot. The OP of that thread proceeded to say that Yuri is not an artist, or lacks skill, or something stupid like that.
To the OP : may I challenge you on this, if you don't mind ? Here is a simple test. Let's take this sheet from Kevin Chen. Sorry for the low quality, I couldn't find a sharper one - but it doesn't really matter anyways, it's readable enough. Would you be willing to do a few studies from it ? It doesn't even have to be the…
After some consideration, I felt I needed to come back to this thread for a slice of humble pie, as I was so adamant that you didn't need drawing skill to be a good character artist. Even though I still stick by that to a certain extent, I have to say drawing studies do actually make a world of difference. Recently I…
I'm willing to bet Yuri can draw better than I can. And I don't think I'm the worst illustrator to be an artist. I agree that talent is difficult to quantify and that arguing about it is moot which is why I suggested OP post some 2d and 3d work he has done.
You have a point there. I know that I could get more freelance work or even attempt to make my own game if I could code or take the time and commitment to learn to code. I love drawing but can't say the same for coding. I'm aware of code-free dev tools but I'd still rather spend my time just doing art. In other words, I'm…
