Interview with Sketch Artist Todd Groesbeck
313 - Interview with Todd Groesbeck
This week John is talking with sketch artist Todd Groesbeck about his approach and lifelong obsession with drawing and sketching.
Todd earned his BFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and currently works with a branch of the military. Listen in as they discuss some of the unique experiences Todd has had in and continues to explore.
“Drawing is Thinking” is a mantra that really resonates with Todd and has for years. He’s not a writer but he does express his ideas through line and value.
Todd’s encouragement is to create challenges for yourself and to draw quickly. Don’t think of it as too precious.
He also says “if you only draw when you’re going to create some piece to show somebody, then you’re not really ever warmed up. It’s too stiff, and maybe the drawing becomes too polite.”
