Is it true that you have to master drawing in order to make

>>2827911
No, with digital you can sort of fake it with painting. To make a great painting, you need to master drawing though.

what did OP mean by this?

>>2828045
i know people who dont do drawing at all and go straight to painting, because they dont like drawing. Whats so hard to understand?

post their work

bob ross strikes me as someone who probably hasn't "mastered" drawing

Some people are indeed more shape-based and prefer to massage blobs around rather than do tight line drawings. Brad Rigney for example doesn't like to work in lines. I don't think Craig Mullins does either.

Ruan Jia also seems to be a shape pusher

>>2828066
He didn't master painting either

>>2828128
But he can make good paintings

>>2827911
I am drawing that picture right now

>>2828077

Yeah, he actually works now to improve his linework.

If you don't know where to put your mark, what edge it is or what value it is, how would you make that easier by adding color?

Painting is drawing + color, drawing is mastering of value, proportion and edge.

No he can't.

Drawing its the base for most things, in fundamental level. this means drawing its usually the way we understand figures and composition, so drawing helps a lot to a painter and a sculptor, nonetheless, a good painter can be a good painter without being a good drawer, painting can be about color and gestures alone and be great without having to sustain on drawing skills.
