Define drawing then.

According to Cambridge Dictionary, it’s “to make a picture of something or someone with a pencil or pen”. Therefore, an oil painting is technically not drawn.

Or you could use the loose meaning of creating the representation of something on a 2D plane; and in that case, he DID draw. According to his description (and having worked with 3D renderings myself), it is a lengthy and creative process.

If you’re an artist, I hope you didn’t comment “OP didn’t draw this” in a derogatory way, because it would show little respect for the creative work of another human being.

If that was not your intention though, all good :)

Correct, we call those paintings lol

Taking a photo is also not drawing.

Just because they're an artist doesn't mean I have to respect their work. I didn't say he wasn't an artist, I just said it wasn't a drawing, it's a render. It's a completely different process.
