This is so incredibly relevant to our industry today and that thought scares me, to be quite frank. I would love to work in the film industry at some point in my career but I have yet to accept that that goal probably includes learning a majority of skills already known again in digital format. It makes me quite pleased to hear that they still stress drawing and painting as foundation to everything new. I suppose I will have to suck it up and accept the future eventually.
