Product Description
Alan Lee, the Oscar-winning conceptual designer for the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, discusses his approach to depicting Tolkien's imaginary world. The book presents more than 150 of Lee's celebrated illustrations to show how his imagery for both the illustrated Lord of the Rings and the films progressed from concept to finished art. In addition, the book contains 20 full-color plates and numerous examples of the conceptual art produced for Peter Jackson's film adaptation.
The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook provides a wealth of background information and will be of interest to those who know and love Tolkien's work, from books to films to DVDs, as well as to budding artists and illustrators interested in how to approach book illustration.

The Lord of the Rings Sketch Book September 5, 2008
The content of this book lent a great deal of inside information that Jackson used to form the characters of all LORD OF THE RINGS movies. I have collected all of the LOTR articles that I could find. This book made an excellant addition to my collection.
Marvelous September 2, 2008
Alan Lee's book is magnificent. His sketches are so etheral. They captivate the reader. His discription of his experience on the sets of Lord Of The Rings is very enjoyable. A truly marvelous book.
Beautiful and inspiring July 8, 2008
A truly wonderful book to peruse through for those who practice pencil sketching. The artist is simply outstanding and his style is right up my alley. I flip through these pages for mere minutes and want to draw for days on end.
 Amazing drawings with some insight. May 28, 2008
Alan Lee's work is amazing and to get some background information about his artwork is a treat. I wish the book was a little bigger and thicker.
Magical May 15, 2008
What a beautiful collection this is. The afternoon it arrived, I wandered again in Middle Earth, lost in Alan Lee's art. But most wonderful, it seems to me (who came to the movies from many readings of the books,) is that as I looked at these drawings they recalled not just scenes from the movies, but returned me to the tactile pleasure of discovering this world as I first had found it --in Tolkien's books. I love both the books and the movies. Now, when time constrains, I don't have to choose between the two. Thank you, Alan Lee.
