2D skills
Definition
2D skills involve creating artwork on a flat surface, such as drawing or painting. Artists use various techniques and materials to create two-dimensional representations of objects, people, or scenes.
Analogy
Imagine a blank canvas as a stage where artists perform their magic tricks using brushes instead of wands. With their 2D skills, they can bring life to images just like magicians make things appear out of thin air.
