Drawing is more important than painting
#15
Again, this misses the the point. It wasn't drawing itself but rather the ideas behind it that are of value. Just like a painting has a "drawing" behind it, so do things made in 3D. It's a sad view of drawing if one only considers it a skill exclusively for 2D artists and the ideas of drawing only applying to drawing and painting.

Lets say that all concept art produced is 3D. Does this mean that drawing should not be studied? Are the principals of drawing not applied in sculpturing? I'd say that drawing is still a very relevant skill. Not necessarily the product of drawings but the principals learned from it.

At the atelier we have some students working on ecorche sculptures right now. Just about none of them have ever sculpted anything before yet they all manage to sculpt figures very well. This is because the things they've learned about drawing the figure now also translates into sculpting it. It's this I'm talking about: the core ideas that translate across mediums.
