Sketching is a continuing source of learning rather than a string of performances.
My job ranges from creating the initial overall theme of the season, to developing fabrics and sketching to sampling and fitting.
Sketching is the breath of art: it is the most refreshing of all the more impulsive forms of creative self-expression and, as such, it should be as free, and happy, as a song in the bath.
Little things like making clothes, baking bread, cooking, even useless things like bird-watching, sketching flowers, playing guitar in the home - that sort of time is gone. And the time we have? We're so exhausted, we want to let ourselves get sucked in to the escape world of TV. I'm speaking from experience; I'm not above all this.
I hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work.
Forget about where you want to be and go out and build stuff. Dodgeball came from being bored at work. . . things happen because you make them happen. Stop sketching, and start building.
I spend a lot of time in a sort of free state when I'm writing in the beginning and sketching.
In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.
A drawing is simply a line going for a walk.
I was born in 1935, and as far back as I can remember, I was sketching designs. My first subject was an aircraft, which I imagined myself piloting.
Stop sketching and start building.
Making movies wasn't really an immediate thought, where I was raised. I was going to be a lawyer, and I thought I would just draw. So, I was sketching all the time and I realized that I needed some outlet, and then I found animation.
I have so much music that I do. Just like how a visual artist is always sketching something but they might not share it, I'm always writing songs or coming up with melodic lines on piano or guitar. It's therapy. It's always happening.
I'm born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching.
In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.
I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen
Stop sketching. Start building.
You can never do too much drawing.
Sometimes you can incubate a character and that can take me a month just sitting on it imagining it, doing everything from sketching it to taking long walks, but sometimes you can see the character immediately. A lot of it is instinctive.
For me, between "Reference" and "Sketching & Conceptualizing" is the "Get the Hell Out of the Studio" step. I most often NEED to shut off the computer, push myself back from my desk and escape the studio space to let possible ideas percolate in my gray matter before committing anything to paper or digital imagery as a sketch or a concept.
