Does skill in penciling really equates to your scale in sculpting?
Hey Polycount, Wanted whats your take on the subject above? Is an absolute master in penciling making hyper realistic figures in order to sculpt hyper realistic people an absolute? I was having a debate about this with a few art friends on facebook. Those in agreement mention that drawing with the pencil is the foundation… -

I do believe 2d skill definitely will carry over to what you do in 3d the thing is how far in 2d does it go in skill that will translate to 3d skill? Once you understand your strokes, you values, anatomy, perspective etc. Will rendering every single pore and pimple really mean that you could do the same in sculpting as the… -
Re: Does skill in penciling really equates to your scale in sculpting?
All the posts in this thread are spot on in my opinion. The only other thing to consider, when first starting out, is that it's important to fail fast. Choose a medium that allows you to work quickly and throw work away without remorse. Traditional, digital, pencil, paint or clay... as long as you can interpret form,… -

You should aspire to be a master in your observational skills, seeing what's off and the stubbornness to correct it, to be able to translate one visual information to another. If you can practice this in another way besides 2d drawing then fantastic. I believe people recommend pencil as it's the cheapest and quickest in… -
Re: Does skill in penciling really equates to your scale in sculpting?
i agree with this, in my opinion however it also means that there's no need to master drawing in order to become good at sculpting. in fact my impression has always been that those who are really used to 2D - perhaps in particular the analog kind with paper and pencil - have quite some difficulty in dealing with the more… -

Pencil is just a tool, its your brain having the skills saved. If you have the eye for aesthetics on that level that you can draw realistically, im 100% certain you can do the same in sculpting as your brain posesses all the information to interpret the forms correctly already, of course after you are beyond the small… -
Re: Does skill in penciling really equates to your scale in sculpting?
I thought this way too once. Years ago when I was just learning 3ds Max, doing tables, chairs, etc. I met with my friend, he was a teacher in fine arts academy at that moment, and he told me to come and learn how to draw, and then I'll be able to do some serious 3d. Being naive and kinda arrogant back then I dismissed… -
Re: Does skill in penciling really equates to your scale in sculpting?
This discussion always ends up as follows : - Artists with strong 2d and 3d skills will tell you that developing a strong 2d design sense and rock solid 2d drafting skills will definitely help you with your 3d work. - Artists with solid 3d experience without prior 2d practice will tell you that you don't really need 2d.… -
Re: Does skill in penciling really equates to your scale in sculpting?
Generally speaking, if you can do it in 2D you can probably do it in 3D, at least in some fashion (ignoring knowledge of how to use the program, if we're talking digital 3D...) Most 2D artists I know who can draw or paint something in a reasonably realistic, well rendered fashion - they wouldn't have much trouble picking… -
Re: Does skill in penciling really equates to your scale in sculpting?
I believe it does.It's not needed and many artists proved that. The work that I find to be the most stellar relating to characters,tend to be done by artists who are mastery level at figure drawing. I think it translates straight over because assuming that artist spent years doing studies and drawing from life,he/she…
