Making Their Mark: Six Artists on Drawing

A good drawing consists of the right mark in the right place according to Maggi Hambling, who compares her regular life-drawing sessions to a musician practising scales. She sees the validity of art as dependent on the ability of the artist to be moved by a subject and to respond to it as directly as possible. 'Drawing from life', she says, 'is the most direct thing an artist does'. (1990)
