This book is an absolute treasure! This contains over 150 delicate pencil sketches and Alan Lee is a pencil genius. There's writing all through the book on how Alan Lee took inspiration and how he drew a lot of the pictures.

As a keen amateur artist, I found myself glued to the book. I love to do sensitive and detailed sketches. Lee's ones are some of the highly refined pencil sketches I've seen.

The drawings, sketches and paintings were amazingly beautiful. The little pieces of text made for a nice insight as to how Alan Lee worked and how he was involved in the Lord of the Rings franchise. A real treat if you are familiar with Alan Lee's work and are a fan of his art and the Lord of the Rings movies and books! ...more
