Understanding this quote
The statement treats good drawing as the foundation of both painting and sculpture. It says that skill in shaping forms, proportions, and visual structure is necessary before either art form can be done well. “Nothing can be done” makes this a strong claim: drawing is presented not as an optional extra, but as an essential basis for the work.
