"Sketchbook" Quotes:

"No one else in the universe would have drawn it quite like you." (pg. 15)

"Mountains stand erect, lean, lie down, sprawl, and spill out onto valleys in alluvial forms. Trees loom, twist in agonized or humorous gestures; they stand erect, stretch, lean; some are tired, some perky, some bear fruit or flower, which in itself is a gesture...Vehicles have gestures of their own. Some cars seem to slink along, some move proudly. Some are raised way up on springs - look like they're holding up their skirts so they can cross a stream...They're as different from each other as a farmer is from an office worker; or a military man is from a hobo. Don't sketch...as if you were doing a Ford ad - go for their personalities, their gesture." (pg. 17-18)
