Description

A large-format hardback containing sketches and paintings from the illustrated Lord of the Rings, together with brand new and previously unseen material. This book reveals in pictures and words how the images in the authorised illustrated edition were created, showcasing the progression from idea to finished art. It features over 150 sketches and early conceptual pieces, 20 colour paintings, and numerous examples of conceptual art produced for the films, as well as brand new pieces drawn specially for this book. An exclusive foreword by Sir Ian McKellen adds to the book's value, providing a unique insight into the imagination of the man who brought Tolkien's vision to life. This book will be of interest to fans of the illustrated Lord of the Rings, as well as to budding artists and illustrators looking to unlock the secrets of book illustration. With its unique blend of art and behind-the-scenes insight, The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook offers a fascinating look at the creative process behind one of the most iconic book-to-film adaptations of all time.
