“I start drawing, and eventually the characters involve themselves in a situation. Then in the end, I go back and try to cut out most of the preachments.”
Dr. Seuss
“Matisse makes a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He recopies 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.”
Pablo Picasso
“I am among the few who continue to draw after childhood is ended, continuing and perfecting childhood drawing-without the traditional interruption of academic training.”
Saul Steinberg
“When I saw Carlos's drawings, they reminded me a little of the way I draw. They showed that you could make appealing human characters.”
Tim Burton
“I need nine wickets from this match, and you buggers had better start drawing straws to see who I don't get.”
Fred Trueman
“I've never been in this situation before, when we're going into the last Test having to win to draw the series, ... But it might not be a bad thing for us, to tell the truth. Just to go out and play instinctively, play the brand of cricket we've played for a long time. There's almost a bit of pressure off now. If all the individuals just lift a little bit and play the way I know they can, I know the result will be different.”
Ricky Ponting
“The paper cutouts allow me to draw with color. For me, it is a simplification. Instead of drawing an outline and then filling in with color-with one modifying the other-I draw directly in color...It is not a starting point, it is a completion.”
Henri Matisse
