"The important thing to bear in mind while drawing
the figure is that the model is a human being, that it is alive, that it
is there on the stand. Look on the model with respect, appreciate
his or her humanity. Be very humble before that human being. Be
filled with wonder at its reality and life. There is a human creature
that lives and breathes and feels, a thing with a mind and character
of its own--not a patchwork of light and shadow, color shapes."

-John Sloan
