“When I draw something, I try to build some kind of history into it. Drawing an object that has a certain amount of wear and tear or rust; or a tree that is damaged. I love trying to render not just the object, but what it has been through.” TryingKindHas BeensCertainTreeObjectsTearsAmountDrawsDrawingRust Author:Alan Lee
“I keep drawing the trees, the rocks, the river, I'm still learning how to see them; I'm still discovering how to render their forms. I will spend a lifetime doing that. Maybe someday I'll get it right.” StillsFormTreeRocksRiversLifetimeDrawingSomedayDiscoveringMaybe Someday Author:Alan Lee
“To draw a tree, to pay such close attention to every aspect of a tree, is an act of reverence not only toward the tree, and toward the earth itself, but also our human connection to it. This is one of the magical things about drawing - it gives us almost visionary moments of connectedness.” GivingHumansMomentsEarthPayAttentionTreeDrawsAspectConnectionsDrawingReverenceVisionariesConnectednessHuman Connection Author:Alan Lee
