MILTON GLASER DRAWS & LECTURES from C. Coy on Vimeo.
Milton Glaser one of the famous illustrators known for his work for Push Pin Studios, talks about drawing.
I never really thought about it until but Milton brings up some interesting points, for starters, the idea that you don't really concentrate on what ever it is your looking at until you draw it. this is extremely true and i do believe changes the way you look at things once you have drawn them. For example if you was to draw a simple chair it no longer becomes a simple chair to the artist as your start to understand the process it has gone though to come to this point. You see the joints, you understand how it was put together, you begin to think about its texture and what it is made of. from that point onwards it is no longer a simple chair it is an object on a journey and you understand it more.
Another point made by Milton is that in order to draw expressively you must first lean to draw accurately. this is a process i have gone through and whilst i was young i could never understand why i couldn't draw expressively, but once i began to take lessons on drawing accurately the rest all fell into place and now it comes extremely naturally. I have found this to be an interesting talk that has held some interesting thought processes to it.
