Quotes

  • Actually, I don't really draw that well. It's just that I don't stop trying as quickly. I keep at it. I happen to have high standards and I try to meet them. I have to struggle like hell to make a drawing look good. - Milt Kahl
  • I always say that my work is 90% frustration, 10% satisfaction. There´s always that brief moment when you look at the finished product, and you allow yourself to be proud after all it took to get there. Then you get into the next job, and the frustration comes right back. - Sergio Pablos
  • "Don't get stuck trying to make the perfect piece. You'll just get all bunched up and make a stiff piece, or even worse, never make anything at all. Your going to make a whole bunch of bad drawings before you make a good one, so you might as well get the bad ones out of the way." - Jason Deamer
  • "It's never easy. It shouldn't be easy. If it's coming easy then you're going down a path you've been down before. You’re resorting to design solutions that you've used or you've seen used before." -Jason Deamer (on the subject of character design)
  • "Even in those of my works in which action is least emphasized, I have always sought to put some suggestion of gesture: I have very rarely represented complete repose. I have always tried to render inner feelings through the mobility of the muscles... without life art does not exist." -A. Rodin
  • "These works have a single purpose: the representation of emotion." - A. Rodin
  • "Does your drawing have weight, depth and balance?"
  • "...anatomy is not the answer - acting is." - Walt Stanchfield
  • "If you do what you´ve always done, you´ll get what you´ve always gotten."
  • "The ability to draw any character, from any viewpoint, in any kind of attitude, and in motion, all of this instantly readable by a general audience."
  • "...draw the idea behind the pose and not attempt to copy the model, line by line." - Walt Stanchfield
  • "Verbalizing a pose or a gesture mentally before starting to draw will help to disengage any obstacles that might stand in the way of drawing the idea clearly." -Walt Stanchfield
  • "If we settle for mediocrity then mediocrity will find a welcome haven in our own work." - Walt Stanchfield
  • "Think first, then draw."
  • "Whether you are drawing from a model or from the imagination (as in animation), you should always be aware that you are not drawing bones, muscles, and cloth, or a model sheet drawing - you are drawing an action." - Walt Stanchfield
  • "Remember, a drawing that does not tell a story can never be good, and one that does tell a story can never be wholly bad." -Walt Stanchfield
  • "What, How, Where, When, Why? "
  • "When I am walking I am walking; when I am eating I am eating." -Zen saying
  • "In other words, in most instances, the driving force behind the action is the mood, the personality, the attitude of the character - or all three." -Walt Disney
  • "... see it in the mind, and feel it in the body before trying to draw it on the paper." - Walt Stanchfield
  • "Drawing gestures is like using body language - it requires the context of an entire situation (story) to be thoroughly meaningful." - Walt Stanchfield
  • "An interest in the subject; something you want to say definetly about the subject; this is the first condition of a drawing."
  • "A drawing or a scene is not final when a material representation has been made; it is final when a sensitive depiction of an emotion has been made." - Walt Stanchfield
  • "Draw verbs, not nouns." - Walt Stanchfield
  • "You won't catch any fish acting like an anatomychart." - Walt Stanchfield
