- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think anyone can do any character that doesn't have at least some ounce of themselves in it. You are who you are, and your brain is drawing on things that you've experienced.

I've been drawing authors and politicians for newspapers for many years. I try to read up on the person; in the case of authors, read one of their books. I watch interviews via YouTube and collect pictures via the Internet.
- Politicians
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't use names or captions for my many portraits of politicians and authors for newspapers. The drawing has to be self-explanatory, so I spend a lot of time sketching to find an idea and an angle that is clear.

I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.

I love drawing on lead. Romans used to curse each other with sheets of it. My slave would come slide the sheet under your door with a curse on it. They had amazing writing and drawings on them, and they survive to this day since lead is so stable.
- Great

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

I feel that historical novelists owe it to our readers to try to be as historically accurate as we can with the known facts. Obviously, we have to fill in the blanks.

- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I work on stretched linen canvas, sized so that the surface already has a sense of tension when I begin. It is a very rich and reactive surface. I begin by drawing on the canvas with a kind of loose line, very simply and freely. I paint very thinly, which allows me to change the drawing if I want to.

- More
- |

- Painting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When children draw or do rudimentary painting, the whole human being develops an interest in what is being done. This is why we should allow writing to develop from drawing.
- Fashion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Because fashion essentially is art, and as an artist and someone who is also a musician and an artist in regards to drawing and painting, anything I can do that expresses my feelings is something I'm really drawn to.
- Painting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I kind of do the drawing with the painting in mind, but it's very hard to guess at a size or a color and all the colors around it and what it will really look like.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was in Cambridge reading mathematics, I went to Amsterdam for the International Mathematics Congress. There I saw M.C. Escher's fascinating work. That inspired me to try my hand at drawing such impossibilities.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wasn't artistic in drawing or painting, but I think I am artistic in sport. I think I'm always looking for the ultimate, the maximum. It's a challenge that excites me.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As someone who writes and teaches YA fiction, I spend a lot of time trying to define its character and readership, and I don't think I'm alone - genres are all about boundary drawing, and the YA genre is, in a lot of ways, about carving out boundaries around adolescence, a space for teenagers to do teenage things.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.
- Lose
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Must
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I must have been very young, but I have a clear memory of drawing on a cream brick wall... with wax crayons.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With comics, you've got to develop some kind of shorthand. You can't make every drawing look like a detailed etching. The average reader actually doesn't want all that detail; it interferes with the flow of the reading process.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do covers for CDs and LPs of music that I like, reissues of old-time music, and then I'm inspired to make some kind of drawing based on this love of the music. I don't do album covers or CD covers for groups or musicians I don't like or have no interest in.
- Brother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We were always drawing comics as kids. My brother Charles made me draw comics. I was very much under his domination. He was actually a much stronger artistic visionary than I was.

- Nov 07, 2020
When I was younger, I just lived my life on paper. I didn't really live in the real world very much. As a consequence, I couldn't cope with the real world and real people very well. That in itself became life threatening, so I had to stop drawing so much and learn how to cope with people.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always had a sketchbook with me when I was young. I was hiding behind it, basically, hiding behind drawing because I couldn't cope with people in real life; I was very shy and very nervous around people.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Problems
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The drawing teacher has this problem of communicating how to draw by osmosis and not by instruction, while the physics teacher has the problem of always teaching techniques, rather than the spirit, of how to go about solving physical problems.
- Nov 07, 2020
The drawing is already partly there - it's in the paper. And the paper is talking before you do.
- Dad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Faith
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Life is a battle between faith and reason in which each feeds upon the other, drawing sustenance from it and destroying it.

You can't wait for someone to give you a show. That can't be the first time you're writing and drawing a character.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The comics that are just conversing with you up there and drawing on their own life, yeah, I guess so. I guess some do political humor, some do topical humor, but the ones that I like, the ones that are appealing to me, were guys who were just talking to you about their life.
- Father
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Control
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I prefer drawing the things I've written to handing them off to another artist. Turns out I'm a huge control freak - and because I write in thumbnails, the art is already happening by the time I start writing!
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I liked painting and drawing, and I liked humanities mainly - poetry, literature - this speculative attitude toward life.
- Living
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think actors have a choice of drawing attention to themselves or living on the outskirts.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
About five years old, I was drawing self-portraits with the brown crayon instead of the peach crayon and, you know, the black curly hair. That's how I was portraying myself.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nobody gets any fun out of baseball any more. I guess a kid's crazy not to be serious about it when he's drawing down $20,000 or $30,000 a year, and any smart-aleck gag you try may be your last. But what's life without a laugh?
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm big into not drawing conclusions for people. I think that's what makes for the most exciting, compelling films. I get bored when the politics of the filmmaker are the subject of the film that I see.
