Drawing Quotes

Walk in nature. Take the time to be still. Practicing arts, arranging flowers, doing some drawing, working on a computer, brings a sense of stillness into your life Picture Quote #1

Above and beyond drawing my creations, I try to incorporate some kind of message. I try not to end as merely a question but try to provide a conclusion within the work Picture Quote #1

Drawing on a computer doesn’t make any sense to me. It’s not intuitive Picture Quote #1

I was always tinkering around with stuff but nothing serious at the time. I was doing animations and drawing like crazy, but I wasn’t imagining that I’d be performing music for people, that’s for sure Picture Quote #1

You should be drawing awareness from a deeper part of your being. Your deeper mind has everything already. It knows everything already. It has all the answers Picture Quote #1

Whether a photo or music, or a drawing or anything else I might do-it’s ultimately all an abstraction of my peculiar experience Picture Quote #1

And most of all, it means continually drawing connections among these seemingly disparate struggles-asserting, for instance, that the logic that would cut pensions, food stamps, and health care before increasing taxes on the rich is the same logic that would blast the bedrock of the earth to get the last vapors of gas and the last drops of oil before making the shift to renewable energy Picture Quote #1

Man is driven to create; I know I really love to create things. And while I’m not good at painting, drawing, or music, I can write software Picture Quote #1

I like doing clay work. It’s different from drawing on a page because you have something to mold into different shapes. It’s quite visual, it’s a thing you can hold and feel, and that makes it different from drawing Picture Quote #1

I’ve been drawing my whole life. My mom says my sister and I were drawing by age 1. Animation seems a real, natural extension of drawing as a way of telling a story visually Picture Quote #1

In my work I’ve never done preliminary drawing, because it’s sometimes difficult to repeat something or to continue when the urgency’s gone Picture Quote #1

It is my entire visual art practice: I eat, sleep, think, write about and do drawing Picture Quote #1

I sometimes set myself thinking and imagining that I find amongst men but one single art or science, and that is drawing or painting, all others being members proceeding therefrom Picture Quote #1

He who draws... ought to take his position so that the eye of the figure he is drawing is on a level with his own... because, generally, figures or people whom you meet in the streets all have their eyes at the same level as yours, and if you make them higher or lower you will find that your portrait will not resemble them Picture Quote #1

I find drawing a useful outlet for ideas for which there is not time enough to realize as sculpture... And I sometimes draw just for its own enjoyment Picture Quote #1

The construction of the human figure, its tremendous variety of balance, of size, of rhythm, all those things make the human form much more difficult to get right in a drawing than anything else Picture Quote #1

I sometimes begin a drawing with no preconceived problem to solve, with only the desire to use pencil on paper... but as my eye takes in what is so produced, a point arrives where some idea crystallizes, and then a control and ordering begins to take place Picture Quote #1

Composition, the aim of which is expression, alters itself according to the surface to be covered. If I take a sheet of paper of given dimensions, I will jot down a drawing which will have a necessary relation to its format Picture Quote #1

I shan’t get free of my emotion by copying the tree faithfully, or by drawing its leaves one by one in the common language, but only after identifying myself with it Picture Quote #1

I would rather teach drawing that my pupils may learn to love nature, than teach the looking at nature that they may learn to draw Picture Quote #1

I believe that it may happen that one will succeed, and one must not begin to despair, even though defeated here and there; and even though one sometimes feels a kind of decay, though things go differently from the expected, it is necessary to take heart again and new courage. For the great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. And great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed. What is drawing? How does one learn it? It is working through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do Picture Quote #1

Accurate drawing, accurate colour, is perhaps not the essential thing to aim at, because the reflection of reality in a mirror, if it could be caught, colour and all, would not be a picture at all, no more than a photograph Picture Quote #1

I use charcoal a lot. Partly because it has such a fantastic range but also because it is very easy to erase. For me, drawing is a lot to do with taking out, with returning to the white of the paper Picture Quote #1

We need all kinds of artists. We have no need to destroy drawing. We lose so much. This wouldn’t happen in music Picture Quote #1

I never talk when I’m drawing a person, especially if I’m making line drawings. I prefer there to be no noise at all so I can concentrate more Picture Quote #1

A drawing should be a verdict on the model. Don’t confuse a drawing with a map Picture Quote #1

If you think of a school drawing while you work, your drawing will look like one Picture Quote #1

Literature expresses itself by abstractions, whereas painting, by means of drawing and colour, gives concrete shape to sensations and perceptions Picture Quote #1

I still come closest to success with drawing. When I use color the results are dubious, for these painfully gained experiences bear less fruit Picture Quote #1

From a slight, undetermined drawing, where the ideas of the composition and character are just touched upon, the imagination supplies more than the painter himself, probably, could produce. And we accordingly often find that the finished work disappoints the expectation that was raised from the sketch Picture Quote #1
