Want to Be a Great 3D Artist? Pick Up a Pencil.
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007If you want to excel as a 3D artist, one of the best things you can do is to learn how to draw.
Most experts recommend gesture drawing and life drawing as the most important exercises. I’d agree, and I don’t think you can ever get enough practice at either. Even if you don’t think you are any good at it, you should still do it. Drawing is an important exercise in “visually dissecting” an object. It’s not about what goes on the paper; it is about learning to be observant.
