"Details are dangerous [in drawing], because an overabundance of details is a bad thing. It's like filling the page just because it's there, or feeling that because you put in a lot of details, you're doing a wonderful job, but that's wrong. Details must take into account the natural rhythm of the eye, like breathing. Details must follow the flow of the story and accentuate its strong moments. Details are like background music in an orchestra. You have the violins and the brass and you must play with all these like a conductor to control the mood of the reader as he reads the story."
- Moebius (Jean Giraud), from the essays in the back of "Silver Surfer: Parable" (1998 edition)
