The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook (Hardcover, New ed)

A sumptuous large-format hardback containing sketches and paintings from the illustrated Lord of the Rings, together with brand new and previously unseen material. In this large-format hardback Alan Lee reveals in pictures and in words how he created the images in the authorised illustrated edition of The Lord of the Rings. These images would prove so powerful, matching perfectly with Tolkien's own vision, that they would eventually define the look of Peter Jackson's movie trilogy and earn Alan a coveted Academy Award. The book is filled with over 150 of his sketches and early conceptual pieces to show how the project progressed from idea to finished art. It also contains 20 colour paintings reproduced in full-page glory, together with numerous examples of his conceptual art produced for the films and brand new pieces drawn specially for this book. The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook provides a fascinating insight into the imagination of the man who painted Tolkien's vision, firstly onto the page and then in three dimensions on the cinema screen.; It will also be of interest to many of the 100,000 people who have bought the illustrated Lord of the Rings as well as for budding artists a

Wonderful book with beautiful sketches. The book itself arrived in good condition and is made of very good quality materials and good binding. The sketches take you deep into the world of the Lord of the Rings books and films. Anyone with a love of the Lord of the Rings books or films will love it.
