I saw this video of Milton Glaser talking about how his mind wonders when he’s drawing. While he’s talking on this video he is also drawing a pencil sketch of William Shakespeare.

MILTON GLASER DRAWS & LECTURES from C. Coy on Vimeo.

The BoingBoing.net article I found this at said “His ideas reminding me of cartoonist Seth’s short essay for The Walrus called “The Quiet Art of Cartooning.” Both Seth and Glaser are in agreement that your mind opens up on interesting ways while you draw.

Writer/Photographer Scott Bourne discusses the problems with technically inclined photographers and videographers thinking you can fix just about anything in post production.
