Once my hand has drawn something my eye has observed, I know it by heart, and I can draw it again without a model.

David Hockney

You know what I am going to say. I love you. What other men may mean when they use that expression, I cannot tell. What I mean is that I am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which I have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. You could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything I have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace. This and the confusion of my thoughts, so that I am fit for nothing, is what I mean by your being the ruin of me.

Charles Dickens

Just a couple of minutes ago, I signed a couple of bowling pins for some people. That's a normal thing. Somebody will hand me something and say, 'Draw a picture! Draw the Dude!' They're probably selling them on eBay or something.

Jeff Bridges

Most people draw from the mind, not the eye. They draw the idea of a table or a face, not what's in front of them. We don't actually see the line of the jaw as a line and we don't see an eye as a perfectly outlined almond shape.

Caio Fonseca

I draw all the time. Drawing is my backbone. I don't think a painter has to be able to draw, I just think that if you draw, you better draw well.

LeRoy Neiman

Serious relationships draw us away from the circle of friends that seemed so adequate, so fulfilling. Marriage cements these inward movements. Children draw partners closer, but they can also draw you further away from the friends and lives you once knew.

Kim Brooks

I couldn't draw anything that was too outlandish or too horrible. I never did that. What I did draw was something intriguing. There was something about this monster that you could live with. If you saw him you wouldn't faint dead away.

Jack Kirby

If you want to draw comics, you really have to love to draw, as you will be spending many hours sitting down with a pencil or pen in your hand.

Dave Gibbons

A draw is the lesser of two evils. A loss or a draw, then obviously we are going to take the draw.

Alun Wyn Jones

I found out animation is incredibly boring. You draw and draw and draw, and it's only a few seconds done in a week.

Caroll Spinney

The women I draw all have the same sort of personality. I can't draw gentle girls; I only know how to draw ones who are strong-willed.

Akira Toriyama

I would like to say to children, 'Don't stop drawing. Don't tell yourself you can't draw.' Everyone can draw. If you make a mark on a page, you can draw.

Chris Riddell

One must always draw, draw with the eyes, when one cannot draw with a pencil.

Balthus

I wish I could draw.

Freddie Highmore

If you know how to use a pencil to draw, you could draw anything. Now apply that to everything in life.

Justin R. Durban

Working with the kind of talent that I've gotten to work with, like the cast of Sin City, it makes me think probably more fully dimensionally about what is going on behind their eyes. But I draw the way I draw, and ain't nothing gonna change that. Although, I draw Marv and I think, "Boy, I could throw a little Mickey [Rourke] in there."

Frank Miller
