I was aware that the teaching of drawing was being stopped almost 30 years ago. And I always said, ‘The teaching of drawing is the teaching of looking.’ A lot of people don’t look very hard. – David Hockney
A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself. – David Ogilvy
When I was a school kid, I used to read lots of comics. This started me on drawing. I would make my own comics about my teddy bear, whose name happened to be Ted. – Marcel Dzama
It wasn’t a problem for me drawing humans although I had originally come to the studio with the idea that what I had to offer them was my knowledge in the drawing of animals. – Marc Davis
I would like to say to children, ‘Don’t stop drawing. Don’t tell yourself you can’t draw.’ Everyone can draw. If you make a mark on a page, you can draw. – Chris Riddell
Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured. – Paul Cezanne
I have been watching and drawing the surface of Mars. It is wonderfully full of detail. There is certainly no question about there being mountains and large greatly elevated plateaus. – Edward E. Barnard
I don’t feel when I’m writing that I’m drawing from any other writer, but of course I must be. The writers I’ve admired have been not so very different from myself: Evelyn Waugh, for example, that kind of crystalline prose. And I’ve always admired W. Somerset Maugham more than any other writer. – Charles McCarry
I had a fistfight with every kid on my block. I got about fifteen broken noses to prove it. Part of it was also because I was always drawing, and I always had an artist portfolio with me. But I was a tough kid. I won their respect. – George Lois
If you can understand the humor in the drawing part you’ll probably get the humor in the audio part. – Eric San
I keep drawing inspiration from people every day. All of a sudden, something strikes me so hard and dramatically, and then a dream comes – I sit down, cut it off and make a script out of it. – Dev Anand
Hand any four-year-old a fist full of crayons, and it is a very, very few who don’t get busy with them, drawing, coloring, scribbling. I have not stopped scribbling. – Chris Raschka
I mean if you draw you like drawing, it’s er, an activity you do all the time actually. – David Hockney
I loved painting and drawing for many reasons. One of them was that all it really required was me, a pencil and a pad. It was something I was passionate about, and still am. – Danny Huston
What is the good of drawing conclusions from experience? I don’t deny we sometimes draw the right conclusions, but don’t we just as often draw the wrong ones? – Georg C. Lichtenberg
In the final analysis, a drawing simply is no longer a drawing, no matter how self-sufficient its execution may be. It is a symbol, and the more profoundly the imaginary lines of projection meet higher dimensions, the better. – Paul Klee
I didn’t begin my life in 1975 with ‘Horses.’ I recorded ‘Horses’ in 1975, but was drawing in Paris in 1969. – Patti Smith
I Never Liked You. I think that’s my best book. I think it works the best as a story, and I like the drawing. It works on both levels, for me at least. – Chester Brown
I have a fairly limited drawing style. I’m not like my friend Derek Kirk Kim, who can pretty much change his style at will. My drawing style can handle some of my stories, but not all of them. – Gene Luen Yang
My earliest drawing is a supposed Carracci. It wasn’t very expensive, I guess, because they don’t know if it’s a real Carracci. But it has all these seals on it of people who’ve owned it, and one of the great portrait painters of England, Reynolds, had owned it, so that’s the earliest. – Ellsworth Kelly
Mostly I wanted to be a writer, though for a couple of years there I wanted to be an animator, because I loved drawing and capturing beautiful movements. – Catherine Jinks
Can you think of a single situation, no matter how grave, where the atmosphere would not be instantly shattered with a loud fart – or a drawing of a butt? There is no faster way to create universal common ground. – Euny Hong
