Is it necessary to have innate high abilities to draw high-level pictures?

No.

While it's true that drawing requires various skills such as spatial comprehension, shadow calculation ability, and texture expression, using 3DCG allows you to create works that surpass your own abilities.
Many people might feel their drawing skills have hit a plateau, or find 3DCG difficult to start. In this lecture, we will explain specifically how 3DCG can be utilized.

◆ Themes:

The 3DCG techniques necessary for illustration are actually simple. They can be quite rough.
Depending on your ideas, you can either save time or significantly raise the level of your work.

◆ Curriculum: Relying on machines (3DCG) for abilities

Spatial comprehension ability → Modeling, sculpting, placement of 3D objects
Shadow calculation ability → Lighting, rendering
Texture expression ability → Material settings

In 2019, I conducted personal research on perspective drawing, gaining an understanding of the basic mechanisms of projection between three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional planes. In 2022, while still in university, I self-studied illustration techniques and began working as a freelance illustrator. Later, around the winter of 2023, I started exploring 3DCG to further develop my illustration style. Unexpectedly, my earlier research on perspective drawing from 2019 proved to be a powerful aid in understanding 3DCG. Since then, I have been exploring various illustration expressions using 3DCG, including materials, lighting, and animation, leading up to the present.
