Drawing is a form of probing. And the first generic impulse to draw derives from the human need to search, to plot points, to place things and to place oneself.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000931178
Drawing is the probity of art. To draw does not mean simply to reproduce contours; drawing does not consist merely of line: drawing is also expression, the inner form, the plane, the modeling. See what remains after that.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000265452
There is a symbiotic desire to get closer and closer, to enter the self of what is being drawn, and, simultaneously, there is the foreknowledge of immanent distance. Such drawings aspire to be both a secret rendezvous and an au revoir! Alternately and ad infinitum.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001402014
But we must not underestimate the potency of the mathematical process of abstraction. A surprising variety of things happen to have both magnitude and direction and to combine according to the parallelogram law; and many of them are not at all reminiscent of journeys.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000840133
What is to be sought in designs for the display of information is the clear portrayal of complexity. Not the complication of the simple; rather the task of the designer is to give visual access to the subtle and the difficult - that is, revelation of the complex.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000893640
The description of right lines and circles, upon which geometry is founded, belongs to mechanics. Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000996456
First we draw what we see; then we draw what we know; finally we see what we know.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001335298
My job is to draw little points on little graphs and to derive little information.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001507353
The job of the artist is to point at things.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001569345
I see graphic design as the organization of information that is semantically correct, syntactically consistent and pragmatically understandable.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001583465
Drawing is the simplest way of establishing a picture vocabulary because it is an instant, personal declaration of what is important and what is not.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001026743
Visualization is daydreaming with a purpose.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000036606
What is drawing? Not once in describing the shape of the mass did I shift my eyes from the model. Why? Because I wanted to be sure that nothing evaded my grasp of it ... My objective is to test to what extent my hands already feel what my eyes see.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001669943
As an engineer I'm constantly spotting problems and plotting how to solve them.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000938212
Some mathematicians didn't even perceive of the possibility of a picture being helpful. To the contrary, I went into an orgy of looking at pictures by the hundreds; the machines became a little bit better.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000592752
A mental image gives you a framework upon which to work. It is like the drawing of the architect, or the map of the explorer. Think over this for a few moments until you get the idea firmly fixed in your mind.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000760172
You can never draw enough or read enough - reading about architecture, in other words.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001359415
A graphic is never an end in itself; it is a moment in the process of decision making.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000953532
The fundamental thing about sketching is that it isabout asking not telling
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001669088
It's hard to understand how you arrive at a design. It's far too complicated to get any overall picture of.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001688954
The art of pictorial creation is so complicated - it is so astronomical in its possibilities of relation and combination that it would take an act of super-human concentration to explain the final realization.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001750846
To draw is to make an idea precise. Drawing is the precision of thought.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000816653
All around the recognized word and the comprehended sentence, the other graphisms take flight, carrying with them the visible plenitude of shape and leaving only the linear, successive unfurling of meaning
not one drop of rain falling after another, much less a feather or a torn-of leaf.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001446175
I like to make an image that is so simple you can't avoid it, and so complicated you can't figure it out.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001685778
If you think of a school drawing while you work, your drawing will look like one.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001641929
To build a software that your users understand, capture the language of that users in a class diagram.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001448562
I believe in creative visualization.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001790203
A drawing should be a verdict on the model. Don't confuse a drawing with a map.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001593458
Try out your ideas by visualizing them in action.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001761597
It is the power of visualization that enables us to reach out toward the future, whether our goal is to bring down a mammoth, write a book, or set a new record time in a race.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001695796
Plotting is an organic, and wildly inefficient process of trial and error.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000850571
The scene fascinated me: a round straw hat; the funnel leaning left, the stairway leaning right; the white drawbridge, its railings made of chain; white suspenders crossed on the back of a man below; circular iron machinery; a mast that cut into the sky, completing a triangle.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001579584
Picture the arrow; nothing but the arrow.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000918662
A drawing is simply a line going for a walk.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000713756
Drawing a good picture is like telling a really good lie - the key is in the incidental detail.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000807994
In the final analysis, a drawing simply is no longer a drawing, no matter how self-sufficient its execution may be. It is a symbol, and the more profoundly the imaginary lines of projection meet higher dimensions, the better.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001435414
The best way to understand a painting is by drawing it.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001173443
most software- or systems-development projects start out without a context diagram, blissfully unaware that they need one.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001526260
Drawing is exercise for a restless imagination.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001541962
We endeavour to employ only symmetrical figures, such as should not only be an aid to reasoning, through the sense of sight, but should also be to some extent elegant in themselves.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001350907

(the painter)
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000431518
Everyone visualizes whether he knows it or not. Visualizing is the great secret of success.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001338191
I shun drawing which is too easily formulated. It does not seem fertilized enough to produce consequences, and a drawing should be a provider of consequences.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001624382
You've got a million bad drawings in you; you better get started.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000872019
Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001681787
I want to represent possibilities

figure of the First.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001015960
The main thing in our design is that we have to make things intuitively obvious.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001814784
Challenge plot, the Connection plot, and the Creativity plot.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001048789
visualization is not something that happens on a page or on a screen; it happens in the mind
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000087981
Drawing is the art of being able to leave an accurate record of
the experience of what one isn't, of what one doesn't know. A
great drawer is either confirming beautifully what is commonplace
or probing authoritatively the unknown.

Diagramming Quotes : pic 000953530
While perspective is a handy device to construct imagined spaces, it is not useful, and possibly detrimental, to sketching existing environments.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000624116
Another assumption is labelled 'regression', and here the reader encounters strange diagrams purporting to represent the direction of psychical energy within the mind.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001826202
Correct observation followed by meticulous deduction and the precise visualization of goals is vital to the success of any enterprise.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001708656
Visualization engages the mind and encourages the body.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000953535
Draw lines - draw a lot of lines
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001195739
In short, the animal and vegetable lines, diverging widely above, join below in a loop.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000873298
The neutrality and clarity of an engineering drawing is a better model for teaching about art than all the uncontrollable drivel about the cabbala and metaphysics and the ecstasy of sainthood.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001103776
As an artist, you don't think about the parabola or the arc you're describing or where you're going to ultimately end up, you're just kind of crawling around, seeing what's out there.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000827205
Drawing teaches you to look at things properly and to understand form and structure.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001811493
I don't really believe in 'directions' in art; the rope twists as you follow it, that's all.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001218124
Show me your flowcharts and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your tables, and I won't usually need your flowcharts; they'll be obvious.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001297793
A drawing is always dragged down to the level of its caption.
A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001435828
I'm drawing in my head pretty much.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001834013
The purpose of visualization is insight, not pictures
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001285914
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000657473
When we have this description, of what a sketch is, itsattributes, we can then start inventing new things thatshare those attributes, and therefore improve our currenttechnics by inventing new and better tools that help ussketch.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000854513
It can be argued that the mathematics behind these images [of the orbit diagram for quadratic functions and the Mandelbrot set] is even prettier than the pictures themselves.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000939136
An artist who wants to transpose a composition onto a larger canvas must conceive it over again in order to preserve its expression; he must alter its character and not just fill in the squares into which he has divided his canvas.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001568006
The trick was not simply to write the code that turned information into pictures but to find the best pictures to draw - shapes and colors that led the mind to meaning.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001007987
The whole essence of good drawing - and of good thinking, perhaps - is to work a subject down to the simplest form possible and still have it believable for what it is meant to be.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000669998
When we mean to build, We first survey the plot, then draw the model; And when we see the figure of the house, Then must we rate the cost of the erection.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000428304
Maps, contour maps and all maps, intrigue us for the metaphors that they are: tools to give us a sense of something whose truth is far richer but without which we would perceive nothing and never find our bearings.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001184635
Drawing is your understanding of form.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001107538
I am drawn to the new chart with all of its colorful intricacies as a gourmet must anticipate the details of a feast ... I shall keep them forever. As stunning exciting proof that a proper mixture of science and art is not only possible but a blessed union.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001798411
I am only an artist, my job is to make drawings not to make sense.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001681885
When communicating results to non-technical types there is nothing better than a clear visualization to make your point.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001337501
The young man should first learn perspective, then the proportions of objects. Next, copy work after the hand of a good master, to gain the habit of drawing parts of the body well; and then to work from nature, to confirm the lessons learned.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001832454
Visualising something organises one's ability to accomplish it.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000369290
There can be no 'graduated exercises in drawing' leading up to an artistic creation. That goal can be attained only through the development of mechanical technique and through the freedom of the spirit.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001610204
When we describe a process, or make out an invoice, or photograph a tree, we create models; without them we would know nothing of reality and would be animals.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001128315
A planar geometrical figure with more than three vertices can be decomposed into a set of triangles, and it can be reconstructed from a set of triangles.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001711308
And you finally get to a consensus, where you get a sense of what really ought to be done, and then they give it to me and then I draw it. I mean draw it in the sense, the philosophical sense.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001419832
Draw a straight line and follow it.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000825117
Drawing is a way of coming upon the connection between things, just like metaphor in poetry reconnects what has become separated.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001178710
I organize the opposition between colors, lines and curves. I set curves against straight lines, patches of color against plastic forms, pure colors against subtly nuanced shades of gray.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001761900
Follow the arrow, wherever it points.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000766322
Think larger. Redraw what is possible.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001714340
The artist's task consists of making one thing of many, and a
world from the smallest part of a thing.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000321190
I'm drawing a diagram of what time looks like if you're looking straight into it - like looking down a tunnel and seeing a circle, if the tunnel were an angry ten-dimensional crab, which is what, in vastly oversimplified terms, we mean by the human word time.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001730950
You are to draw not reality, but the appearance of reality!
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001166010
When I have a model who is quiet and steady and with whom I am acquainted, then I draw repeatedly 'til there is one drawing that is different from the rest, which does not look like an ordinary study, but more typical and with more feeling.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000220823
The whole of mathematics consists in the organization of a series of aids to the imagination in the process of reasoning.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000513076
Drawing is the cornerstone of the graphic, plastic arts. Drawing is the coordination of line, tone, and color symbols into formations that express the artist's thought.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 000758075
There are many indications that the hexagrams were the original images from which the trigrams were then later abstracted and that the configurations of double lines are derrived from a still later anaysis.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001336957
Programming graphics in X is like finding the square root of PI using Roman numerals.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001324610
Drawing is the art of taking a line for a walk.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001360785
A job the artist does which no-one else does is to dismantle existing communication codes and to combine some of their elements into structures which can be used to generate new pictures of the world.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001188438
Learn to visualize for inspiring creativity, and make imagination rolling into reality.
Diagramming Quotes : pic 001329849
All my work begins with drawings.
