All my work begins with drawings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.
I have been drawing all my life.
When I see a white piece of paper, I feel I've got to draw. And drawing, for me, is the beginning of everything.
When I'm writing, I'm creating the story and its character with words. I'm thinking about what the pictures will be like, but I never begin to sketch. The pictures are all in my head.
I want to bring drawing back to the basics, make it about the pleasure that it can afford and remove the notion that it's some kind of precious or difficult activity. It's another way of telling a story.
I've been taking art classes for a couple of years; I love to draw.
If you start with character, you probably will end up with good drawings.
I just wanted to paint and sketch and tell stories by drawing.
I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.
I've always been a 'write first' artist: the drawings are always in service of the writing.
