“Well, back to the old drawing board.”
Peter Arno
“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
“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
“From reveries so airy, from the toil / Of dropping buckets into empty wells, / And growing old in drawing nothing up.”
William Cowper
“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
“There was not enough funding for the original plan. So it was back to the drawing board.”
