Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured.
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
When I see a white piece of paper, I feel I've got to draw. And drawing, for me, is the beginning of everything.
Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.
If I try to articulate every little detail in a drawing, it would be like missing the forest for the trees, so it's just about getting the outline of the forest.
You can't wait for someone to give you a show. That can't be the first time you're writing and drawing a character.
There's always room out there for the hand-drawn image. I personally like the imperfection of hand drawing as opposed to the slick look of computer animation. But you can do good stuff either way. The Pixar movies are amazing in what they do, but there's plenty of independent animators who are doing really amazing things as well.
On a purely personal level, it's very strange, because as a kid, Superman informed my personality. Now I've been given the job of forming Superman's personality and, in some ways, drawing on my own background.
I was always most interested in drawing - most of my childhood drawings are black-and-white line work. And when I kind of abandoned comics, through college and art school, I was doing a lot of painting. But once I started doing comics again, everything else just fell by the wayside.
Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.
