This was made by James "autocratic" Cameron
He makes KINO because he can draw

Drawing is about ideas
Before you model in 3D, draw it first
Before you animate in 3D, draw it first
Before you build worlds in 3D, you guess it, draw it first

Yeah, but the thing is, if you are doing it long enough, you actually often don't need to draw it anymore. At least not fully detailed.
These days when i draw something, its like the most dirty and sloppy scribble. Because all I need is a rough description of an idea. The most basic shapes and a very loose distribution of secondary and tertiary details. It serves only as a reminder, If I look at the image I know exactly what else there is to do and I fill out the rest in my head. Only if you have to communicate the idea to others do you need to be more precise, for myself I don't need to.

I know but I cant draw for shit and I cant practice that much since I broke my wrists as it hurts after an hour max.

That's the storyboards Cameron himself drew for the terminator anon. Really highlights just how clear of a vision that dude had.

The fact you thought of them as being drawn by someone after the fact reminds me just a beast Jim Cameron was back in the days.
I miss that dude, it's so sad he's only into cartoon basketball smurfs nowdays.

This is a big one. For any job.
You'd be surprised how many people spill their fucking spaghetti any time they have verbal communication with another human being. If you get to the point that you get anxiety at the mere thought of interacting with someone, you're not cut out to work anywhere.

We had to take a toastmasters course in ROTC in high school, and while the whole "pretending to be army men" thing wasn't for me, doing that toastmasters thing was actually a really good way to develop skills that I still use all the time.

Learning art fundies and actually knowing how to use them is a big one too. There's more to being an artist than just making art though, it's important to be a well-rounded person so you're not one of those shitty depressed artists that can't even bother getting out of bed, let alone making something.

This, something one of my professors always told me, were that thumbnail sketches were an artist's shorthand notes.
If you're not presenting them to someone else, all they have to make sense to is yourself.
I got really fucking gestural with mine.

That's fine but don't call yourself an 3D artist then if you are just a modeller who works from other peoples concepts.

You can easily upgrade if you start to design/concept your own stuff and then model it, but if you just produce stuff from already existing concepts than you are just a "production modeller" as its called in the industry.

No one gives a fuck bro. Not everyone wants or cares to learn to draw. Alot of people just want to turn 2D concepts in the 3D art.

Oh man... I won't argue, but I just find this sad. I mean, I get it - majority of 3D jobs have you recreate concepts, so it makes sense that a majority of people working in 3D would just want to do that. But it feels wrong to even call yourself any kind of an "artist" then.

Imagine any other medium of art where artists are just recreating other people's works. Doesn't really happen often, unless it's for practice. I guess I don't understand the lack of personal drive to create original works in your medium. You'll be bringing other people's ideas to life at a job anyway, why don't you at least try to do your own thing for personal projects? Any artist has a need to share their thoughts and feelings with the world through their work. 3D "artists" are in that context practically mute. You're just a no-name cog in a machine doing the work that anyone else technically competent can easily do as well, which means you're replaceable.

It's more that drawing helps people learn their fundamentals easier than fucking around with a technical program. Lower barrier to entry and all that.

Personally, I don't think that drawing is the way to go, since photography is a better analogue that teaches the same concepts, but without drawing you lose a lot of important info about form and how to deconstruct things.
I think to really get a well rounded base, you should at least get a basic grasp of most of the main art mediums; drawing for forms/structure, sculpture for 3d thinking, painting for color theory, photography for composition and lighting. They all have their own unique benefits that contribute to 3d.
