I started my own magazine with drawings, commentary, news, film reviews and drawings.
In 'Tom and Jerry,' there was hardly any dialogue at all. It was all action. It required a great many drawings to make.
My drawings are the result of my sculpture.
All my work begins with drawings.
I love drawings, so I've always enjoyed making drawings that exist on their own.
Human beings have a lot of problems identifying themselves with other human beings who don't resemble them exactly. But there's something about drawing that means that anyone can identify to a drawing. I mean, people can identify themselves with Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.
Children of five and upwards write asking if it's my own hair, whether I'm married, how old I am, what's inside a Dalek and how Tardis works. Nearly all of them send me drawings of Daleks and incidents from stories.
The people I feel inspired around draw pictures, they make paintings.
Drawings, paintings, and sculptures. That's the three pillars of art academia.
I enjoyed art in school. I've always done little drawings and stuff like that. I don't really know what I'm doing with the painting, but I experiment.
I have been to several wars to draw. I went to Vietnam. And made drawings in Vietnam during that period of the war there, and found that to be a very very sad situation.
I created 'Captain Underpants' when I was in the second grade. I was constantly getting in trouble for being the class clown, so my teacher sent me out into the hallway to punish me. It was there in the hall that I began drawing 'Captain Underpants'. Soon I was making my own comic books about him.
And, uh, I've got about six thousand cartoons up there, also books and papers.
The Internet is a crazy archive of a lot of old everything. Paintings, drawings, old, new, and everything in between.
When I was writing songs, I always thought I'd make more of a career out of the drawings, the comics even more than the music.
The worse my drawings were, the more beautiful did the originals appear.
Drawings help people to work out intricate relationships between parts.
I have tons of drawings of 'Star Wars,' whether it be stormtroopers, Darth Vader, Star Destroyers, or the whole thing.
In middle school, I started to draw, and my pencil sketches were huge. They were these 4ft by 3ft drawings, and I got a lot of attention for that, so that was very validating. But I didn't start cartooning until I was in college.
Drawings don't have a point. Cartoons, you want to have an opinion; you want them to express a viewpoint.
Where as in animation you have to kind of do a series of drawings in between to complete the movement.
Somehow I started introducing writing into my drawings, and after a time, the language took over and I started getting very involved with the handwriting and then the look of the handwriting.
The thing that makes me happiest about Simpsons Illustrated are all the drawings that we get from readers. I wish we could print them all. They're really imaginative. They show a lot of hard work.
I definitely used to write a lot at school. Comic poetry and drawings about people.
