But with period clothes, people know less so they accept the pretty drawing that I give them. – Julie Harris
I’ve always said the bass just happens to be the crayon I picked out of the box. I’d still be drawing the same pictures… should I have picked trumpet or accordion or guitar, whatever it may be. The sounds in my head are still the same. – Les Claypool
At that point it certainly would be called abstract. That is to say, you had a model and there’d be one or two or three people there drawing the model but otherwise you had abstractions all around the room, even though the model was in front of you. – Lee Krasner
I practiced drawing all the time and became very interested in it. If I was at a meeting that wasn’t getting anywhere – like the one where Carl Rogers came to Caltech to discuss with us whether Caltech should develop a psychology department – I would draw the other people. – Richard P. Feynman
Some days you feel like this is really going well. You can tell. Other days, you’re just drawing like a farmer and you don’t know why. – Pat Oliphant
I have 17 full-time archivists working for me who put away in books all the diversity of artwork I do, from drawing to etching to monotypes to prints to lithographs. – Peter Max
I’ve never seen bad drawing destroy a good idea. On the other hand, I’ve never seen a good drawing save a bad idea. – Paul Conrad
I must have been very young, but I have a clear memory of drawing on a cream brick wall… with wax crayons. – Robert Ingpen
Going to so many book events keeps me connected with my readership while constantly reminding me that all the long hours at the drawing desk are worthwhile. – Raina Telgemeier
For me, drawing was an outlet. No one in school said, ‘Oh, she can do sports,’ or, ‘She’s pretty,’ but I could draw. – Roz Chast
I loved drawing, but I just couldn’t do it to the level that some of my friends could. That pulled me up unconsciously because I wanted to be like them, and I wanted to draw. – Pierre Coffin
We were then satisfied that, with proper lubrication and better adjustments, a little more power could be expected. The completion of the motor according to drawing was, therefore, proceeded with at once. – Orville Wright
When we were kids, I know when I saw ‘Pinocchio’ it had a huge impact. I was ten years old, and I went home, and I was drawing the characters. – Ron Clements
I’ve never quite worked out how to do holidays. I’ve got a house in France which I suppose is a kind of holiday house. But it’s really only so I can go on drawing when I get there. I’m never far away from the feeling that I want to be getting on with something. – Quentin Blake
My first concern was to take care of my drawing. I did not have any knowledge in arts, especially Haitian arts, apart from the paintings I saw in my father’s office. – Ralph Allen
The ward designs were co-created by myself and Lauren K. Cannon. She read how they were described in ‘The Warded Man,’ and we had long discussions about what sources to draw from for the symbols, drawing inspiration from Arabic, Japanese, Chinese and Sanskrit. – Peter V. Brett
The drawing is already partly there – it’s in the paper. And the paper is talking before you do. – Richard Artschwager
The subject of the lesson itself should not become more important that the underlying basis. Drawing thus provides first the written forms of letters and then their printed forms. Based on drawing, we build up to reading. – Rudolf Steiner
It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms. – Oscar Niemeyer
But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it. – Roy Lichtenstein
Dad loved computer games, and I would sit beside him for hours with graph paper, drawing out plans to try and forecast the moves he should make while he worked the computer controller. – Rhianna Pratchett
I think most people see drawing as subservient to the subject, a sort of meditation, a studying, a searching observation, in my case, for its own sake. – Peter Wright
Sometimes people think drawing and painting is mucking about when actually it is a highly skilled activity. – Quentin Blake
But usually I begin things through a drawing, so a lot of things are worked out in the drawing. But even then, I still allow for and want to make changes. – Roy Lichtenstein
I burned out my drawing hand by using it too much. The common word for it is writer’s cramp. The fancy words for it are focal dystonia. The symptom in my case was a pinky finger that went spastic when I tried to draw. – Scott Adams
