  • 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!

    I’ve been alone in my adoration of Kley for at least 40 years. 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. Thank you gentlemen...great job!

    @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.

    27:25 I get the same impression when looking at Kim Jung Gi's work. He always says how he was never scared to mark the paper, and his biggest fear is the moment when that stops being true.

    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've always been jealous of the skill of the artists from earlier centuries, particularly the scientific texts, who could pick up a pen and draw beautiful finished images. Well placed lines, no under-sketch. I hope, as I progress from beginner to more skilled, I may able to do that, just like Mr Kley.

      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.

    I found two Dover books of his some years back at a used book store, and immediately bought them. Wasn't at first initially familiar with him, but could see an uncanny influence, especially on the gestural work, on one of my favorite artists, Claire Wendling.
    Nice stuff, Stuart Ng always has an amazing selection... always my favorite booth at cons.
