Do you mean seal cutting or carving? Seal cutting belongs to calligraphy and does not need painting; Sculpture belongs to plastic arts and needs painting. Jewelry design should start with sketch, or you can't afford to be hurt if you accidentally carve it wrong! Design and modeling are a family, and they all have to draw pictures. This is a tradition of westerners. In ancient times, western designers were all painters. You know Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci all have the titles of architects. This is especially true in the modern west. Postmodern artists have stopped painting, but designers have very strong modeling ability. Do you think that the role setting of Blizzard is not created through strong modeling ability? Doesn't the design of concept car need modeling ability? None of these can be replaced by software and tools!

As for what I said upstairs, I think designers should improve their overall quality, or they will just be craftsmen. Just like the manufacturing industry in China now, although things are made by you, the technology belongs to others. You can only earn money in kind, and most of the profits belong to others.
