Nope... can't draw in daz, no paint brushes, no pens, no drawing of any kind, you place a figure and more the body parts around with sliders or use a premade pose that someone came up with... the little pally's pose was a premade pose that I fiddled with a bit to hold the weapon and shield. Then you decide what you want them to be wearing and load that in and hope it fits, if not you get to play with sliders some more to get it to fit, same with the hair... basically, if you can look at something and say 'that looks nice' or 'that looks ugly' you can make some pretty nifty looking pictures. You put in the lighting, there's a choice of spotlights distance lights and point lights, you can put them whereever you want, the spot lights can be pointing where ever you want them, the pally picture has 2 spotlights and a distance light. You can also put in a bunch of different cameras so you can get a couple shots you like set up to render, I had 3 cameras for her, a close one, I far one, and a 3rd one I moved around to check details and make changes to things.
Anyway.. early morning rambling... the short version: no traditional artistic ability needed, just a good eye.
