Quotes by Drawing Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. Leonardo da Vinci drawingcreativityart 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 drawingablethinking The young man should first learn perspective, then the proportions of objects. Next, copy work after the hand of a good master, to gain the habit of drawing parts of the body well; and then to work from nature, to confirm the lessons learned. Leonardo da Vinci drawingmenhands When you draw a nude, sketch the whole figure and nicely fit the members to it and to each other. Even though you may only finish one portion of the drawing, just make certain that all the parts hang together, so that the study will be useful to you in the future. Leonardo da Vinci drawingtogetherbeauty 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 drawingphotographyreality He who draws... ought to take his position so that the eye of the figure he is drawing is on a level with his own... because, generally, figures or people whom you meet in the streets all have their eyes at the same level as yours, and if you make them higher or lower you will find that your portrait will not resemble them. Leonardo da Vinci drawingeyepeople Drawing is based upon perspective, which is nothing else than a thorough knowledge of the function of the eye. Leonardo da Vinci thorough-knowledgedrawingeye The divisions of Perspective are 3, as used in drawing; of these, the first includes the diminution in size of opaque objects; the second treats of the diminution and loss of outline in such opaque objects; the third, of the diminution and loss of colour at long distances. Leonardo da Vinci distancedrawingloss As far as being territorial about one's own life, that's a mistake for ANY writer. All writers everywhere, in every genre, are drawing from their life and the lives of those around them for "material." Memoirs just make transparent and even amplify that activity. Lidia Yuknavitch amplifydrawingmistake Those who are in love with practice without knowledge are like the sailor who gets into a ship without rudder or compass and who never can be certain whether he is going. Practice must always be founded on sound theory, and to this Perspective is the guide and the gateway; and without this nothing can be done well in the matter of drawing. Leonardo da Vinci drawingperspectivepractice My agent tells me I am drawing the largest salary ever paid in the halls of England. Wonderful, isn't it? for a quiet, rural gardener like myself. Lillie Langtry salaryagentsdrawing The light for drawing from nature should come from the North in order that it may not vary.

Liu Dan chinesedrawingspecial Unlike scandal-monger Ed Klein’s fantastical No. 1 best-selling narrative about the supposed Blood Feud between the Clintons and the Obamas, Halper’s study is juicy and gossipy, yet scrupulously researched, drawing on numerous on-the-record conversations (as well as many not-for-attribution interviews) with prominent Democrats and Clinton insiders, past and present. Lloyd Grove drawingbloodpast You don't expect everyone out there watching to believe that this cartoon is real, that this drawing has really come to life. But on some level, you do.
