The drawings need to be strong enough to stand alone, and not just work as part of a sequence.
Richard McGuire

I got a job as a dishwasher in Oakland, and I would draw all day. It was nice because the lady who ran the boardinghouse where I worked let me live there for nothing if I gave her some drawings every week - mostly park drawings of birds and such.
Claes Oldenburg
Image
As Calvin and Hobbes went on, the writing pushed the drawings into greater complexity. One of the jokes I really like is that the fantasies are drawn more realistically than reality, since that says a lot about what's going on in Calvin's head.
Bill Watterson

When I'm doing a drawing, I get lots of ideas I use them in my songs, even. I do a lot of drawings because that's where I get most of my spending cash and I just always have to have new records, to get something to satisfy my listening pleasure.
Daniel Johnston

During photography's first decades, exposure times were quite long... So, similar to the drawings produced with the help of a camera obscura, which depicted reality as static and immobile, early photographs represented the world as stable, eternal, unshakable.
Lev Manovich

When I was writing songs, I always thought I'd make more of a career out of the drawings, the comics even more than the music.
Daniel Johnston
Image
When I found out after that first successful exhibition that the gallery wanted me to do another show like the first one, I come out two years later with four 6-foot drawings of classical nudes masturbating. The gallery director flipped the freak out!
Betty Dodson

There's a difference between sexy and hyper-sexy. The way I have drawn Vampirella, she's definitely sexy, I designed the costume. But her costume, through the years, has gotten briefer and briefer. She has been hypersexualized, but not by me. I mean, I see drawings in which she's got the 'brokeback pose'. I would never do that.
Trina Robbins

Jerry and I always felt that the character was enjoying himself. He was having fun: he wasn't taking himself seriously. It was always a lark for him, as you can see in my early drawings.
Joe Shuster
Image
I'm too old to make drawings.
Quentin Crisp
Image
Doing fashion drawings was the only way I had to express myself when I was a teenager.
Jean Paul Gaultier
Image
At the earliest drawings of the fractal curve, few clues to the underlying mathematical structure will be seen.
Louis L'Amour
Image
I love telling stories. And even in single images, I tend to have stories inside them. I've always loved film, but I was making drawings and paintings and photographs. And you put art and narrative together, and that really is comics.
Dave McKean
Image
Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out.
Chuck Jones
Image
Some drawings are better than others... Some are utterly spoiled... I keep them all. I find a use sometimes even for the worst drawing... But their chief use is to mortify one's conceit, to show how thoroughly incompetent it is possible to be, and to shame one into better ways.
Walter J. Phillips

Pure painting or the art of drawing whose point of departure is based on purely formal criteria is,in my opinion,passé. I do not reject it if other artists make attempts,but as far as I am concerned,this is what I believe. if I do not place a text next to my drawings,I consider the work on such programmes to be futile.
Gunter Brus
Image
My drawings inspire, and are not to be defined. They place us, as does music, in the ambiguous realm of the undetermined.
Odilon Redon
Image
Something about glamour interested me. All my schoolbooks had drawings of women on terraces with a cocktail and a cigarette.
Bill Blass
Image
You have to make thousands and thousands of drawings before an illustration is perfected.
Richard MacDonald
Image
I do have great respect for painting, but I am definitely not a painter. I make drawings of paintings, and I'm jealous of painting for sure, but, for me, the paper gives my work a limit.
Robert Longo

Study the great brush drawings of the Chinese and Japanese... When we try to imitate their conventions for perspective, form and texture we lose the content, because those artists were part of an ancient tradition. Our tradition changes rapidly, our schools of thought come to fruition quickly and decay again. We see differently.
John French Sloan
Image
I had so many ideas that I wanted to get out at once that it led to simple little drawings and paintings.
Neil Farber
Image
A diary with no drawings of me in it? Where are the torrid fantasies? The romance covers?
Cassandra Clare
Image
Well, what we do is we have a script, of course. But for us, writing is also like storyboarding. It's drawing. And so we will cut all of those drawings together with music, sound effects and dialogue. And we screen this kind of stick-figure version of the film.
