I’m really not sure if ANYONE of you is real? You are all too digital.
Be honest with youselfes. When was the last time you drew something
with a pen and a paper. A wacom doesn’t count. Yeah it’s difficult.
There is no ctrl/cmd + z to save you from your greatest mistakes
but mistakes play an important role in the learning progress.
If you correct every mistake within 2 seconds you can’t absorb and
remember it’s structure.

I have to thank Chris Coy

(C. Coy is an internet surfer & filmmaker. (http://www.c-coy.com) for providing me with this wonderfull footage of Milton Glaser drawing a picture while speaking about the importance of drawing. This is a MUST SEE!

Just a short picture to explain why Milton Glaser plays such an important role in graphic design:

Who is Milton Glaser?

“Milton Glaser (b.1929) is among the most celebrated graphic designer in
the United States. He has had the distinction of one-man-shows at the
Museum of Modern Art and the Georges Pompidou Center. In 2004 he was
selected for the lifetime achievement award of the Cooper Hewitt National
Design Museum. As a Fulbright scholar, Glaser studied with the painter,
Giorgio Morandi in Bologna, and is an articulate spokesman for the ethical
practice of design. He opened Milton Glaser, Inc. in 1974, and continues
to produce an astounding amount of work in many fields of design to this
day.” (Via: http://www.miltonglaser.com/ )

Here are some of the comments from people who already saw the video:

This is great. I love that absence of hesitation, just a constant pace, so deliberate.

Each time I see a video like this, I want to draw more… what keeps me from doing it? Maybe… this computer I’m sitting in front of? Maybe… hmh.

This piece is superb in its relaxed, quiet strength and in the powerful demonstration of the value of learning fundamentals in order to gain your own “voice” in your work.

What do you think about him?
