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.<\/p>\n

MILTON GLASER DRAWS & LECTURES<\/a> from C. Coy<\/a> on Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The BoingBoing.net<\/a> article I found this at said “His ideas reminding me of cartoonist Seth’s short essay<\/a> for The Walrus called “The Quiet Art of Cartooning.<\/a>” Both Seth and Glaser are in agreement that your mind opens up on interesting ways while you draw. Teachers who prevent students from drawing and doodling while being taught a lesson are hindering their learning.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Seth says in his blog post:<\/p>\n

I often find that when I\u2019m drawing, only half my mind is on the work \u2014 watching proportions, balancing compositions, eliminating unnecessary details.<\/p>\n

The other half is free to wander. Usually, it\u2019s off in a reverie, visiting the past, picking over old hurts, or recalling that sense of being somewhere specific \u2014 at a lake during childhood, or in a nightclub years ago. These reveries are extremely important to the work, and they often find their way into whatever strip I\u2019m working on at the time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I find these comments so true for when I draw or get into brainstorming sessions while music is playing in the background.<\/p>\n

Do you agree?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
