does sculpting body parts in zbrush help your drawings by giving you a better understanding of three dimensional form?

It can, sure. I went to art school and one of my most valuable classes ended up being a small-scale 3D anatomy sculpture class. At the beginning of every class, we'd sketch a muscle or bone, then spend the rest of class working on our small clay model +armature of a live model. It was like life drawing, but with clay models.

Definitely learned a lot from it, but it's not at all necessary to learn this stuff.

Yes.

Not at all because you can make fake forms in Zbrush.

No. good general life principle is that the only way to get better at X is to do X.

I am not experienced in zbrush, what does this mean?

If you can sculpt X object, you can draw X object. Provided of course you have the prerequisite drawing skills, but all else being equal, it will help you to understand the forms of an object or body part. Drawing is basically 3D modeling with the mind, after all.

as other anon said, if you can sculpt it, you can draw it, and for sculpting you need to know every possible angle, you can get away on 2d drawing with only working on your comfort zone, drawing lets say, the same 3/4 view from a character, but in 3d you are shit out of luck, you need to use your brain.

lets think on this fella, pretty simple funny design, piece of cake on 2d, right? know try to construct him on 3 without fucking it up and making him look weird, theres the challenge, thats why on the days of old 2d animation all animators have to had a clay maquette of the characters, and they where done by some of the best artist out there, who got little credit for it, just imagine the guy who had to sculpt the Beast for beauty and the beast holy fuck https://www.artstation.com/artwork/mq6kVa

"if you can sculpt it you can draw it" crew are dead wrong, 3d handles perspective for you so you dont have to do it, so in a way its easier, altho more time consuming. And yes the forms you manipulate in 3d will help with forms in 2d, it all translates to some degree but uses are limited.

Short answer: no.
Long answer: holy fuck look at the comments on this thread, shit like this really shows that nobody here knows anything at all, I'm leaving this stupid board

It helps in improving your 3D mental image of the imagined form and that can help in drawing because you KNOW the basic blueprint of the form you're seeing and/or drawing.

I told myself this back when there were like 12+ Kr0npr1nz threads every single day in ~2015. I was reading a metric fuckton of retarded comments and I told myself that everyone else is a moron and that I'm leaving the board forever and never coming back.

I never left.

Why do you guys think that just because someone can do 3d rendering well means they can also draw well? There's tons of people who can 3d render well but has a portfolio consisting of just copying designs from artists who can actually draw. Even the guy contributing so many great improvements to blender's sculpting tool can't even draw. I

I agree though that 3d rendering will help you get used to seeing form though. I believe that a lot of the "stem types" on this board who struggle with learning the draw might enjoy learning 3d rendering more.

I sculpted in Zbrush a bit and I can say - it definitely can help with drawing, but the biggest restriction is Zbrush as a tool itself. Be prepared that you'll be spending most of the time watching yet another #AskZbrush video, cause learning 3D tools are more demanding than photoshop or other drawing programs.

This is the right answer.
