The Invisible Artist

  • “EXAGGERATE: If it’s sort of straight, make it very straight. If it’s slightly curved, make it very curved. It’s better to have an over exaggerated drawing, than a boring unexaggerated drawing.”
  • “When drawing a pretty girl, she needs to look like a pretty girl right away, in your drawing. Making her look pretty later will never work.”
  • “Did I ever tell you the story about Lenny Steckler?…”
  • “RELATIONSHIPS: The big relationships will create the smaller ones. Everything has a counterpoint relationship. If you draw one side of the arm, you already know how and where to draw the other side without even looking.”
  • “SIMPLIFY!!!”
  • “CHEAT and look at the model.”
  • “Why don’t you just tie your hands behind your back and make it even harder.”
  • “Fixler’s Law: The iris is always half the size you drew it.”
  • “It’s the edge that counts, not the shading inside.”
  • “Get the big shape.”
