and I will go on with my drawing.

Forget about where you want to be and go out and build stuff. Dodgeball came from being bored at work... things happen because you make them happen. Stop sketching, and start building.

Karl Lagerfeld

Kevin Munroe

While perspective is a handy device to construct imagined spaces, it is not useful, and possibly detrimental, to sketching existing environments.
Paul Laseau

Rian Johnson
36.
It is a matter mostly of having the time to spare from my finished paintings to put in on travelling and sketching out of doors.
E. J. Hughes

In one gallery they actually had a notice which said No Sketching. How obnoxious! I said, How do you think these things got on the walls if there was no sketching?
David Hockney
