One day you have to talk about Hiroshi Hirata, the old guy who only draws when he has something to say in his manga, only he draws as few people can, "when he wants he is too lazy to to draw" it's impressive.

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.

You can clearly hear how much Marshall admirers Kley at the 7.40 mark... I’m with you there, Marshall, Kley is a legend !

My dad, a commercial artist in the 50s - 70s, really admired Kley and made sure I understood why he was such a wonderful draftsman. (There’s an antique word!) I really enjoyed your tour through his sketchbook, especially seeing images that were new to me. Thanks.

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've realised that I'm as much of a fanboy of Kim Jung Gi as Marshall is of Heinrich Klay 😂

Yes my new favourite too!

Absolutely fantastic. He's 75 years old when he's doing this? That is something to aspire to.

I love how passionate Marshall is about Kley. And I'm amazed at this illustrator's knowledge of anatomy and lack of fear when drawing, definitely early 1900s were the golden age of illustrators

Always loved being in Marshall's classes and consider him a great friend and colleague. His teachings continue in my mind and heart every day. I love the work of Heinrich Kley. His work influenced me greatly in my animal drawing classes when I taught at the Cal State University before I retired. Thank you Marshall for the opportunities you gave me!

19:06 Damn. I bet Marshall's sketchbook would make a cool showcase

WOW!!! Guy makes a few strokes and conveys more emotions than many movies. Incredible.

One of the first artist I was ever introduced to. I was a lucky boy! Thanks aunt Sonia!

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 been a fan of Kley since 1958 not only for his art but also of the “message” each work conveys.

The passive aggressive garbage truck rolling along the screen 😂

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 can always count on Stan and Marshall introducing me to some great artists I’ve never heard of before! Thank you Proko!

I could listen to Marshall talk for hours, he has such great insights and sounds so genuine.

I wasn't familiar with Kley's work, but this era of illustration is my all-time favorite: Rackham, Neill, Dulac, Nielsen... Thanks for the introduction to a new master! Seeing stuff I can aspire to really helps me focus on my own artistic goals, too.

The garbage truck added to the feeling of Kley's works! This was one of the best and very inspiring episodes to date!

His work evolved magically. So pretty sketchbook.

The humor and the movement in his drawings is incredible.

Kleys drawings always want me to break into tears because they are so good.

That dude is killing me when he opens the page and pushes it down and makes a dent in the paper!

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.

Fantastic service helping us find and remember these artists!!

This exploded my creativity this morning, I am so thrilled that Heinrich got some major spotlight, thank you!

This looks amazing, I love these drawings so much!

This is awesome! I absolutely love these Sketchbook Tour videos! Thank you so much Proko!

It’s so refreshing to know there is something /someone new and surprising to know! Even if I ask myself: Why didn’t you know him??? How it was possible? I’ve receive such a precious gift this morning from you all, thank you thank you thank you!

The sketchbook tours on Proko are always quality, love it

This is truly amazing. Very inspirational. Thank you. Love Kley’s art and sketching style.

I cannot get enough of this kind of content... What a rare pleasure, to look through this Heinrich Kley sketchbook! Thank you so much for this, Proko.

I grew up with my dad's Kley book. I have always treasured it, no one ever knows who he is.Thanks for sharing info on this fantastic artist

This was so inspiring. Thank you all for sharing this sketchbook.🙌🏼👏🏼

Absolutely incredible! Thank you for sharing. Look forward to acquiring his books in the future including this one!

Amazing video, totally did not expecte to see such a gem today! Love Kley and love Marshall's love of Kley, it supercharges me to explore and learn art

Thank you guys for introducing me to yet another phenomenal artist! I’ve never heard of Heinrich Kley until today and I’m already in love with his work! it’s sad to think how many other legend draftsmans works have been lost to time.

Thanks so much, Proko! Loved every moment of this engagingly informative conversation.

Oh nice, I just stumbled upon an old work of his in an antique shop I recently moved into and began using as a studio. Researched him just a few days ago, and now this pops up. Awesome video. Thanks

So very much enjoyed this! Thank you Proko, thank you! Love you and all that you do in the name of Art.

This work is amazing! I could stare at these for hours!

these are INCREDIBLE

Wow, I never heard of Heinrich Kley but I will now start searching for his works, I am really amazed and impressed immediately from the first drawing you show. Thanks Proko and Marshall.

WOW, thank you for bringing this amazing content to us! I didn't know about Heinrich Kley, i'm in awe.

Ive never heard of him, but his sketches are really amazing. His use of loosely using lines for negative spacing is very impressive.

His works reminds Doré's work , the shading , the line , the academical construction and sometimes without it but still present . I didn't know him thanks you for this great discover ! I am so thrilled by this discovery what an artist , it is so impressive and motivating !

Hello Dave and Meredith! Can't wait to see this. Let's hope i can stay awake to watch it live. Your streams helped me evolve so much and i am working on my own graphic novel! Keep inspiring us!

The value and contrast in these are cray!!! 🔥🔥🔥

WOW!!!! Many thanks for giving wonderful experience.

This is an amazing sketchbook. So inspiring. Thank you for sharing

I have the book The Drawings of Heinrich Kley since I was a kid, I love his beaitiful and bizarre art.

What an amazing video! Thank you Proko and Marshall for this.

Those "warm-up sketches" ARE DRAMATIC. Who on earth would say they are mundane?

This is amazing. It gave me goosebumps hahaha. I never heard of him, but wow!! He was amazingly talented. I can't even imagine how it must feel to be able to hold this book in your hands. Amazing!!

I have the "Drawings of Heirnrich Kley" book and it has inspired me for 50 years, since my grandmother first showed it to me. How such a genius is not more famous is a mystery.

is one of my favorite artists (directly and indirectly, I loved fantasy), these drawings, the drawings (in chiaroscuro) of the sketchbooks he made them all in ink or even in graphite, pastels, who knows if always or often directly from the imagination, it is magical, timeless, thank you

I actually just bought "The Drawings of Heinrich Kley" a couple of days ago to study!!

Marshal Vandruff discussing/appreciating old artists’ work from the past reminds of that episode of Doctor Who in which Van Gogh visits an art museum in the future and hears a curator speaking about him and Van Gogh realizes how loved his artwork became after his death.

I absolutely adore these. I had no idea tis guy even existed.

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.

Amazing Sketchbook!!!!!

Have been a BIG❗️❗️fan of Kley’s work for many years. I have an original hard cover book of his drawings...large pages. Such excellent draftsmanship❗️❤️
