Often Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
When a young artist asked me for advice on drawing the human foot, I told him, ‘The first thing you must learn is how to take your shoe off, and then how to take your sock off, then prop your leg up carefully on your other knee, take a piece of paper, and draw your foot.’
Artists don't need criticism, artists need love
Jackie Gleason said that comedy is the most exacting form of dramatic art, because it has an instant critic: laughter.
We must not confuse distortion with innovation; distortion is useless change, art is beneficial change.
Every great artist must begin by learning to draw with the single line, and my advice to young animators is to learn how to live with that razor-sharp instrument or art. An artist who comes to me with eight or ten good drawings of the human figure in simple lines has a good chance of being hired. But I will tell the artist who comes with a bunch of drawings of Bugs Bunny to go back and learn how to draw the human body. An artist who knows that can learn how to draw ANYTHING, including Bugs Bunny.
Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out.

If you were to draw Bugs, the easiest way is to learn how to draw a carrot and then hook a rabbit onto it
Anyone can say 'no'. It is the first word a child learns and often the first word he speaks. It is a cheap word because it requires no explanation, and many men and women have acquired a reputation for intelligence who know only this word and have used it in place of thought on every occasion.
The older I get, the more individuality I find in animals and the less I find in humans.
Disney was not a good animator, he didn't draw well at all, but he was always a great idea man, and a good writer.
