I can draw but when I do 3d I don't feel like I'm drawing at all. The skills of being able to draw hardly transfer as much as people say, I don't run into the same issues as when I draw. What transfers is your attention to detail. Other than that drawing just made movements on a tablet to sculpt much easier. With that said…
It's just a coincidence all the hand painting superstars on polycount have 2d drawing skills that make me hang my head in shame. I also define "can't draw" as struggling to draw a stick figure. I see plenty of people on polycount that are competent 2d artists claim they can't draw for crap. ANYWAY lets just agree that…
I was today to get some A4 paper box with around 1500 papers. And couple of sketchbooks. I read about what beginner to draw and also will ask here. People say to draw anything that it is interest for you. For me, i am interest of course about people/characters and creatures. Can i start to draw that? Learn anatomy with…
Since you're already a damn good sculptor, learning how to draw primitives in perspective fluently will get you a long way along the road. That and gesture drawing are (for me) the hardest part. For a primarily freehand (ie. not loads of rulers and measuring) approach to perspective, I found Scott Robertson's courses very…
I also don't draw. But Btween 3d, programming and some gaming, there is not much incentive to draw. I'm not that good at 3d but I feel I'm getting better and better at it. Though I would have huge issues with making textures for hand draw style environment.
I think a lot of the people here who claim success without knowing how to draw are probably at least competent at drawing. They just aren't at a professional level. The major boost to your 3D art and ability to see shape/color is going to come from a fundamental competency at drawing anyway.
One thing that i am afraid of drawing, is the thing from getting embarrassed. I see kids at 12 years old, drawing incredibly good. When did they have the time to train, when i see them all day outside, playing games? Second thing is that i don't have any life drawing or art school here. And i am not confident from drawing…
Yea, I wouldn't say not being able to draw makes texturing way harder. I knew a few people at Escape that couldn't draw that well at all but were pretty sick digital sculptors, so it is possible but requires a lot of study and observation, sometimes it's good to just take time away from the monitor and just sketch some…
