The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook by Tolkien, J. R. R.

ISBN: 9780261103832 PUBLISHER: HarperCollins Publishers Ltd FORMAT: Hardback PAGES: 400 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.03.2001 DIMENSIONS: 25.2 x 19.5 x 1.9 centimetres

DESCRIPTION: A sumptuous largeformat hardback containing sketches and paintings from the illustrated Lord of the Rings, together with brand new and previously unseen material. In this largeformat 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 fullpage 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 and illustrators interested in unlocking the secrets of book illustration.
