Overview
Since The Hobbit was first published in 1937, generations of readers have fallen under its spell. That magic was reignited sixty years laterĀ when Alan Lee was commissioned to produce a special illustrated edition, and his delicate pencil drawings and beautiful watercolor paintings have become for many the definitive vision of J.R.R. Tolkienās Middle-earth.
In this sumptuous, large-format hardback, Alan Lee reveals in pictures and in words how he created these images, which would prove so powerful, matching perfectly with Tolkienās own vision, that they would eventually define the look of Peter Jacksonās film adaptations and earn Alan a coveted Academy Award.
The Hobbit Sketchbook is filled with more than 100 of Leeās sketches and early conceptual pieces, which reveal how the project progressed from idea to finished art. It also contains a wealth of brand-new full-color paintings and sketches drawn specially for this book, which unlock the secrets of how Alan creates his own magic and provide a fascinating insight into the imagination of the man who breathed new life into Tolkienās vision.
