  • Get an inside look at an original sketchbook penned by Heinrich Kley. If you haven’t heard of him, Heinrich Kley is a legendary draftsman and one of the major artists that inspired Walt Disney’s early animations. In this exclusive sketchbook tour, Marshall, Stuart Ng, and I flip through the pages to rediscover the work of this master. A HUGE thanks to Stuart Ng for letting us have access to this rare book!

Not only is the sketchbook’s reality a shocker, but hearing someone else intelligently discuss Kley, with the appropriate grasp of his greatness, was, in itself as refreshing as the drawings themselves.

    @04:35 " he was known to do a drawing more than once " ... This is vital to improving ones work. The act of taking the best things of the previous iteration and adding improvements for the next iteration is the same as a martial artist practicing all his moves in the dojo. It makes the drawing and the artist stronger simultaneously.

      I thought someone would have said this already but apparently not: It can be better not to use gloves for some types of collectibles/antiques - books are one of them. If you wash your hands well, you won't have a problem with oils when handling them. The main problem is that you lose a great degree of sensitivity when your hand is covered by a glove, it's much easier to accidentally crease or rip an old/valuable piece of paper. That's why, if you watch collectors or other people who deal with valuable books, you will often find them choosing not to wear gloves.
      As for the touching, I'm not fully through the video but he seems careful enough - pulling the pages in one swift motion and making sure they lay flat (the slight push doesn't seem to dent the paper, I feel it's more so the pages are laying correctly). The "touching", at least for the parts I was paying attention to, didn't even seem to brush the paper, it seemed more like gesturing over the drawing to motion which parts he was referring to. And even if he'd brushed over the drawing slightly, as said earlier, he likely did wash his hands thoroughly so it wouldn't hurt the artwork since it's ink and not pencil.

  • @jas_bataille
    @jas_bataille 3 года назад +3

    I love to discover new "drafting" geniuses. One of my favorite artist is John Blanche, who drew all of the concept art for the initial miniature game Warhammer 40K. At the time, the term "concept artist" wasn't even invented. He got paid to just sit and fill up sketchbooks all day. If you are to look at his concepts and artwork and compare them with sci-fi movie of that same era, and then before he sketched this, it's astonishing. He created the visual depiction of "space marine" that became the archetype of the futuristic soldier, he sketched-out drawings that could've been used for Alien. The whole dystopian/post-apocalyptic/mad-max can be seen in his work, even with the colours used (lots of sanguine). John have been drawing for Games Workshop non-stop for over 30 years now, setting trends for the entire world of sci-fi. Equally influential is Yoshitaka Amano who notably did most of Final Fantasy concepts. I feel like sketching is really neglected nowadays.

    I have seen some comments about him not wearing gloves or how he seems to be rubbing over the artwork so let me say my part on that:
    It can be better not to use gloves for some types of collectibles/antiques - books are one of them. If you wash your hands well (or multiple times if you plan to handle for longer periods), you won't have a problem with oils when handling them. The main problem is that you lose a great degree of sensitivity when your hand is covered by a glove, it's much easier to accidentally crease or rip an old/valuable piece of paper. That's why, if you watch collectors or other people who deal with valuable books, you will often find them choosing not to wear gloves.
    As for the touching, I'm not fully through the video but he seems careful enough - pulling the pages in one swift motion and making sure they lay flat. The "touching", at least for the parts I was paying attention to, didn't even seem to brush the paper. He seemed very careful to only point and gesture over the drawing to motion which parts he was referring to and (at least from what I have observed) refrained from touching the pages with art on them as much as possible. And even if he'd brushed over the drawing slightly, as said earlier, he likely did wash his hands thoroughly so it wouldn't hurt the artwork much since it's ink and not pencil.
    I really appreciate that there are many people out there these days who are mindful about how old and valuable items are handled - but please be aware that there isn't one solution that works well with every item. The person presenting the book seems quite knowledgeable on how it should be handled to produce as little wear as possible.

    @LuneyTune72 3 года назад +6

    I believe he drew what he drew because he was bored and having fun. He was a master draftsman, and like most early surrealists, he was making fun of how serious art was getting. I mean, if you had his drawing skills, wouldn't you draw a monkey riding a flying pig? Like the narrator said, he was improvising on a stream of consciousness. Just like Frank Zappa's guitar playing and lyrics, he wasn't sitting down trying his damnedest to figure out his work, he was just exercising his skills and tinkering and entertaining himself.
    Unlike most popular artists who try to be "awesome" or "impress" Heinrich Kley was doing art the reason most masters did/do it; to express themselves. He had imagination but he also just enjoyed capturing movement, acting, personality, etc. He was probably an unsung actor who put his skills into drawing, capturing all of those abilities in his drawings. That's part of the reason become artists, isn't it? To do things on paper that you can't do in real life. It's the same reason animation is a popular medium for artists, it's a form of art that is a marriage of all the art skills combined (gesture, acting, music, voice performance, stunts, dance, color, direction, etc.)

      I think you are not far away from the truth, because his main-income was from "industry art" for big companys. So the sketchbook-stuff was mainly for himself. And friends of him forced to him to publish it.

    You should do a vid on Winsor McKay - he animated Gertie the Dinosaur and was another inspiration to Disney. I've seen his originals comic prints up close at the Hammer Museum in LA and he was WAY ahead of his time

    I’m a big fan of his work but didn’t have a name to attach to the drawings I’ve been admiring. It’s a shame he’s overlooked. His immense creativity and skill is a huge artistic accomplishment. Everyone can have ideas but not everyone can execute them well. Seems like he always did.

    Holy shit this guy was incredible... It's amazing how this is just his rough work 😂
    I feel guilty just sitting down to draw from imagination like this, without fully knowing the fundamentals first. Obviously this guy was a master by then, but I struggle knowing how much freedom I should give to myself , when really I should be studying as much as possible 😕

      @@Galaxmul lol no problem. The guy was probably drawing for most of his life then anyway, and seeing what people do today early on in their careers, it's really not that surprising. That doesn't mean it's not amazing, it's just that in today's world we get to see everybody's best work all the time, so we have a warped perception of what people drew like starting out.

      draw whatever you like when you aren't actively doing studies. drawing from imagination is exceptional when you're just letting loose and having some fun with it.

    It's quite funny how the esoteric can bleed over to the art medium.
    I do not know much about art nor theory nor practice, however, what I am familiar with, is the occult.
    Heinrich Kley was not only familiarized with the occult, but he actually implemented his knowledge of the occult in his drawings.
    This is a perfect example of how art and the knowledge of the esoteric converge into one.
    All those depictions of demons and "reptiles" have quite a heavy meaning that you all should definitely look into and learn from.
    I encourage all artists to research these little quirky drawings and/or "meanings" so to speak.
    great video nonetheless, cheers my friends

    I think Kley's sketchbook warmups, are more than the eye sees. I see the studies as learning the various compositions of nature. If you see his work with people in it; they are arranged like the flower arrangements. Maybe?

    The demon/imp/whatever it is at 18:14, on the right really reminds me of the bat like creatures in Goya's Sleep of Reason. I'm an art history graduate and yes, Klein seems to not have been noted by historians. But he would easily fit with any other artist in Romanticism or Symbolism with his creatures. Thank you Marshall and Stan for sharing the work of this great draftsman.
