“I've seen him do paintings, drawings, all different things. I asked him to draw our conference championship shirt and he drew a design on the back with the six conference teams. He put all them on a pedestal with our mascot above and scores from the games below. This kid is talented. I'll never get another like him.”
Scott Hawkins
“Drawing really changed the way he painted, once he realized he could draw his paintings in his own quirky way.”
Colta Ives
“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
“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
“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
“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
“You've seen the drawing, the description of the Arroyo molester and anything whatsoever would be of great assistance.”
John Walsh
