Drawing Quotes

I’ve always loved painting and drawing. I wish I’d developed it more and exhibited Picture Quote #1

I am writing graffiti on your body. I am drawing the story of how hard we tried Picture Quote #1

God is always drawing us closer, blow by blow and bit by bit. And most of the time we do not even know it is happening Picture Quote #1

I created ‘Captain Underpants’ when I was in the second grade. I was constantly getting in trouble for being the class clown, so my teacher sent me out into the hallway to punish me. It was there in the hall that I began drawing ‘Captain Underpants’. Soon I was making my own comic books about him Picture Quote #1

To know what you’re going to draw, you have to begin drawing... When I find myself facing a blank page, that’s always going through my head. What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas Picture Quote #1

Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow Picture Quote #1

Matisse makes a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He copies it five times, ten times, always clarifying the line. He’s convinced that the last, the most stripped down, is the best, the purest, the definitive one; and in fact, most of the time, it was the first. In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt Picture Quote #1

Literature duplicates the experience of living in a way that nothing else can, drawing you so fully into another life that you temporarily forget you have one of your own. That is why you read it, and might even sit up in bed till early dawn, throwing your whole tomorrow out of whack, simply to find out what happens to some people who, you know perfectly well, are made up Picture Quote #1

Drawing is a kind of hypnotism: one looks in such a way at the model, that he comes and takes a seat on the paper Picture Quote #1

Every animator is really an actor performing in slow motion, living the character a drawing at a time Picture Quote #1

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad Picture Quote #1

In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing Picture Quote #1

My heart sings of your longing for me, and my thoughts climb down to marvel at your mercy. I do not fear as you gather up my days. Your name is the sweetness of time, and you carry me close into the night, speaking consolations, drawing down lights from the sky, saying, See how the night has no terrors for one who remembers the name Picture Quote #1

My work is so unorthodox that from one panel to the next, the drawings are completely different... totally opposed to the way of working in something like animation, where every drawing has to look like the one before Picture Quote #1

Originality depends only on the character of the drawing and the vision peculiar to each artist Picture Quote #1

Make a drawing. Start it all over again, trace it. Start it and trace it again Picture Quote #1

If I try to articulate every little detail in a drawing, it would be like missing the forest for the trees, so it’s just about getting the outline of the forest Picture Quote #1

For me, drawing is everything, because it informs everything. It even informs my poetry. It’s the way I begin everything Picture Quote #1

Since the age of six, I have had a passion for drawing things. Now that I am 75 years, I have finally learned something of the true quality of birds, animals, insects, fishes, and of the vital nature of grasses and trees. By the time I am 89, I shall have made more progress. By the time I am 90, I shall understand the deeper meaning of things. When I am 100, I shall be truly marvelous; and at 110 each dot and each line will possess a life of its own Picture Quote #1

When remaining in awareness itself, every thought movement, no matter what kind, is like a drawing in air Picture Quote #1

As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress; each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward Picture Quote #1

Obviously a drawing of a person is not a real person, but a drawing of a line is a real line 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

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

When I was a child of four I wasn’t really drawing like a child, I wasn’t sketching as a child. I would sketch and I was using perspective, the good relationship of the subject Picture Quote #1

If drawing belongs to the world of spirit and color to that of the senses, you must draw first to cultivate the spirit Picture Quote #1

The ultimate obscenity is not caring, not doing something about what you feel, not feeling! Just drawing back and drawing in; becoming narcissistic Picture Quote #1

The writing is done on the computer, and the drawing is done by hand. I write, write, write, then I hit the illustration Picture Quote #1

If you refuse to study anatomy, the arts of drawing and perspective, the mathematics of aesthetics, and the science of color, let me tell you that this is more a sign of laziness than of genius Picture Quote #1

Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured Picture Quote #1
