Three time Oscar nominated director, Tomm Moore has been drawing for decades, but he has never stopped growing. Recently, after the release of Wolfwalkers, he took a sabbatical to study Life Drawing in Paris and Amsterdam, seeing his growth is inspiring.
Having Tomm on the podcast again was a huge privilege for me. Last February, I ventured down to Kilkenny to pick his brain about the nature of drawing. Originally this was intended to be a short discussion that I could pull moments from, but I loved the whole conversation so much I had to share it with you all.
Every time I speak with him, I’m reminded of the depth of his thoughts and care in his expression. His understanding of art and how he communicates that is so honest. I know in another year I’ll still come to new understandings of his musings.
These are a few of the things we talked about:

Actionable tips for improving drawing practice
How style is defined by your limitations (Incredible thought)
Animation is collaborative but Drawing is individual

& so much more!
I’m excited to hear your thoughts after listening to this!
