About this product

Product Information

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. It also includes an exclusive foreword written by Sir Ian McKellen. 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 and illustrators interested in unlocking the secrets of book illustration.

  • Beautiful and informative.

    This sketchbook is a beautiful compilation of drawings and notes by the acclaimed Lord of the Rings artist Alan Lee. I own a copy myself and I also bought one for my boyfriend. I love it because of my love of Lord of the Rings but my boyfriend finds it helpful as he is studying design right now. So it if great for fans or for artists because either way it allows a glimpse into the workings of Alan Lee's mind when coming up with his beautiful ideas.

  • a good interesting read.

    excellent presentation , and in depth explanation of his art and his history as an artist...
