Okay, so how many of you cannot draw to save your life? Does it effect your 3D work in a noticeable way? THEN! How many of you CAN draw to save your life but started out not being able to draw at all and does that increase your 3D skill? My problem is that I have these ideas in my head but I cannot get them onto paper…
Yes, little focus in 2d concept drawing or figure drawing or life drawing goes a long way in 3d. No one is a born artist they always start somewhere, so, I suggest the OP to at least start and get things going. It doesnt have to be fair or anything, but it should be good enough for you to understand how the concept goes in…
traditional animators use lightboxes :), and it's the best way to draw a clean drawing with a good line art. You always can trace the same drawing and improve it. It's one of the fastest ways to train our skills with a pencil. BTW, tracing is not something all people can do very well, and more using paper of 100gr.
I currently cannot draw, however am able to sculpt digitally and traditionally without any issues. Have shit perspective and shading which makes drawing fairly difficult for me, would love to practice though!
I can draw a basic idea. I can draw "ok" if I spend hours pouring over it. But overall I'm probably not even a passable 2D artist. I still draw some when I get the time or the itch because I just find it fun. It's another artistic release that differs from 3D environments for me. So don't be scared, just do it! (And show…
You would be surprised to see how many people that can't draw in film/commercials/games. Most people I've met get surprised to see somebody be able to draw(well). If you are into characters and stuff you can always do quick sketches in zbrush.
I'm awful at drawing. And I have no will to attempt at getting better. I'm not trying to disagree with any veterans here, since I agree that knowing how to draw will fundamentally improve any other artistic abilities, but I think one can be a great 3D artist without being able to draw well. It's not about being able to…
I started out as a 3D artist only and didn't draw a whole lot. But I'll tell you what, when I started focusing on drawing and traditional artwork it greatly improved my 3D work and I wish I would have focused on it sooner. Work on it, turn that weakness into a strength. It will make everything better.
