"Do not fail to draw something every day, for no matter how little it is, it will be well worth while, and it will do you a world of good." (Cennino Cennini, 1370-1440) "
"For those of us who would be fine artists, drawing is still the bottom line. Next to composition, it's the most neglected skill. A drawing a day keeps the cobwebs away. One in the morning before coffee is a credible tonic for a day filled with above average work. Canvas or paper, it matters not. "Good drawing forms the bones on which a strong painting hangs." (Chris Bingle) (In praise of drawing)
The painters Keys archieve, August 1, 2006 http://www.painterskeys.com)
Sketching for years has led me to drawing world again. Drawing is skelton and infrastructure of all good paintings. No wonder the masters put so many times and efforts into drawing.many art classes advocate painting before grasping the roots and essense of drawing these days. Though the students will be happy not spending much time to draw and jump right away into painting, their teachers are in fact not leading them in the right trait.
