I believe becoming a great artist boils down to your determination and patience with learning either 2d or 3d or both! To not give up and always practice and learn something!
I actually was a great sketch artist when I was younger from 10 years old to about 25. Then I stopped drawing to pursue a different career. I started coding and Im now a software engineer. During my college career I discovered 3d art. Been doing it for 10 years now. Patience is key. I just love designing and creating new things. Whether its coding or 3d art. Do what you do best. Patience is key.
As for me working in the 3D industry I found that knowing how to draw really helped me in how to visualise a 3D idea plus I worked with people who didn't know how to draw and their overall skill in understanding of composition, detail etc was lacking but that doesn't apply to all but just with the people I worked with.
I believe first reaching a point in 2D where you can accomplish gestural sketching and anatomical sketching, and have studied and practiced life drawing from actual organic and structural things is important in building up your foundations. However, once you've reached that point, it's a good idea to branch into your ultimate goal of 3D modeling, as you'll be better equipped to move forward rapidly, since instead of learning from the starting point, you're only focused on learning the tools and the new work space. It's simple- learn to crawl before you walk, and learn to walk before you run, and learn to run before you *leap*. Once you start sculpting, *everything changes*.
we definitely need to draw even if we are working as 3D artists. it helps to visualize your vision as a rough reference to what you want to model. for example, automotive industry always involve sketching and designing the car before it went to sculpting, 3D scanning, and finally 3D modelling.
For to me it is possible to succeed and survive without drawing skills but at some stage it demands you to learn drawing to move ahead than to remain stagnant
another video not really answering the question just talking about getting a job and some actual information dropped as little hints here and there about composition and lightning etc.
Does a sculptor need to know how to draw before sculpting? Does a potter? Does a glassblower or gaffer? 3D modeling is basically digital sculpting, so no... it's not necessary in my opinion to know how to draw to be proficient in any of these arts.
Nah.... AI isn't good enough and really can't ever be good enough to eliminate the need to draw.... Especially in something like 3d work, where it's really just for conception and testing
@@presto_the_editor yes, i agree, i wanted og's answer, because if the response was AI, the idea that starting to learn how to draw is "nuts" is just silly and very dumb
