    i meant the knowledge of line weight, colour theory, perspective, shapes, how light works, where shadows fall, how to treat your values, and the million other things that you can take to paper, that i have taken to paper as a ditigal artist

    drawing ditigally is one way of drawing sure, but the skills you get as you draw are 90% transferable to any other medium - you just need to learn the new tool first

    obviously it won’t be the same, but you’ll still be able to use the knowledge and skills you’ve obtained drawing digitally - to help you put the idea in your head onto the paper much better

    and AI prompter would be on the same level as someone who’s never touched a pencil before

      I feel like your being incredibly specific about how it applies to one art form.

      Ai generation is not drawing. Just like drawing is not woodcarving.

      Id like so see pencil or brush skills transfer to photography. Which is a good example because i have taken photos with intentional effect to make them look paintings.

      Someone who works abstract without light play does not need to know light theory to be an artist.

      If you want to do make the same art on a different medium sure knowledge is transfered but that really depends on what you are trying to do which is different for every creative individual.

      In my experience there is knowledge overlap between making photoshop collages and building advanced ai generation flows.

      These tools also complement eachother. Generate a specific something, photoshop it into the final product.

        overlap between drawing and photography? easy, composition, colour theory, framing, in fact you could take everything (aside from gear knowledge) from photography and apply it to drawing or painting

        pretty much all mediums of art have the same basic core - concepts that can come in handy no matter what other medium you grab, shapes, colours, compositions - you learn those by working with any medium, and you can take them everywhere else
