Looking

A critical eye is an informed and open eye, saturated by having seen many drawings, in the flesh. For unlike many works of art, drawings stand as valid at any stage of the creative process. A drawing can be many things; and, in some ways, it’s not unfair to expect all things from a good drawing: craft, substance, character, integrity, evidence of a smart and sensitive hand. But each drawing has its own purpose; and while it will always reveal something about its maker and act as a mirror to the artist’s self, it can be measured honestly in relation to its own intent.
