You have to make thousands and thousands of drawings before an illustration is perfected.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All my work begins with drawings.
You can't make a perfect painting. We can see perfection in our minds. But we can't make a perfect painting.
You know, it's a hugely difficult thing to take any work of art or drawing and say 'make that real.'
I don't think there's any formula for what makes great art.
If I try to articulate every little detail in a drawing, it would be like missing the forest for the trees, so it's just about getting the outline of the forest.
To create a work of art is to create the world.
We made drawings the size of a whole quarter of a room ceiling, which we would then send on to the model makers. I did this every day for two years. Even now I can draw cartouches with my eyes closed.
As a storyboard artist, you have to be able to draw anything.
I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
