Should 3D Modelers learn 2D Art?

Question

I'm looking to become a 3D Modeler and all that, making objects for games so I was wondering if it's some kind of invisible requirement to also know 2D art.

Answer 1

Maybe not 2D as "art", but 2D representations of 3D objects might be useful. Be it on screen or paper, objects are still displayed in 2D. Only by adding light/shadows we see them as 3D objects. i hope it makes sense.
