A short interview with... Till Megerle

Summeracademy: Why drawing? (And why figurative drawing?)
 

Till Megerle: You can basically start drawing right away, not much preparation needed.This accessibility of drawing is a nice thing, it's easier to overcome doubt and hesitation. You don't have to change your clothes, material is cheap and your pictures don't take up much space (which doesn't mean that they can't be strong statements). Figurative drawing offers the possibility to include the visible world into ones's pictures. Thus it is a nice tool to reflect upon your surroundings and deal with your interests. (There's nothing wrong with non-figurative drawing.)
