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.
From my experience, they are closely intertwined. Most of the drawing knowledge and skills can be applied to sculpting, from understanding shapes to how to paint strokes you want. It doesn't mean that you have to actually learn to draw, but what it does mean is that you should read every drawing book you can find and…

In 2006 I started a totally different form of art; music. I've been playing guitar for almost 9 years now. Not much drawing since that. I started 3D…

Hello everyone. I was just curious as to how important 2D art is when learning 3D modeling, specifically sculpting in Zbrush. Is it possible to become extremely good at Zbrush without any 2D skill? It seems that pursuing both paths requires an incredible amount of time, whereas pursuing just one, in this case sculpting, is…
