Gumroad - Marshall Vandruff - Drawing Lessons from Heinrich Kley

https://marshallart.gumroad.com/l/xllse

These Heinrich Kley Lessons from the 2022-2023 courses give you the best drawing instruction I have to offer with one of the best artists I’ve showcased in forty years of teaching. I think you'll like them. I’m sure you'll learn from them. They are mainly from live online presentations, with expanded materials added.

Session 1: Imagination

If you haven’t already watched the Pre-Meeting on YouTube, watch that first (video 1). It was the setup for the live course, introducing Kley’s work, available resources, assignments, and exercises for study.

The two main lectures on Imagination spotlight how Kley worked. I introduce metaphors (Process & Flow) and showcase his ability to imagine living characters with physical and emotional sensation (Gesture & Empathy). Feedback spotlights the student work that followed.

1. Pre-Meeting with Feedback* [53 minutes]

2. Imagination: Process & Flow [46 minutes]

3. Imagination: Gesture & Empathy [23 minutes]

4. Feedback Session: Imagination* [33 minutes]

Session 2: Drafting

These two Drafting Skills lectures display Kley’s virtuoso knowledge of the anatomy and form of both humans and animals. Feedback spotlights the student work that followed.

1. Drafting Skills 1 [51 minutes]

2. Drafting Skills 2 [65 minutes]

3. Feedback Session: Drafting* [40 minutes]

Session 3: Story

This lecture spotlights Kley’s characters and situations, with boiled-down lessons on staging scenes from Don Richardson’s teaching on acting and directing. Feedback spotlights the student work that followed.

1. Story: Staging & Scene [61 minutes]

2. Feedback Session: Story* [30 minutes]

Session 4: Style

This set of lectures begins with a short video explaining how style includes composition as well as technique. If you haven’t already seen it on YouTube, watch it first. We then look at Kley’s mastery of Pen and Ink, and how simple elements of style such as Line & Tone create combinations unique to specific artists. The final lessons showcase student examples of looking to Kley and other masters to find your own style.

1. Kley’s Style: More than Technique* [9 minutes]

2. Style: Technique: Pen & Ink [52 minutes]
