The Lord Of The Rings Sketchbook ( Alan Lee ) Review

A fascinating look at Alan Lee's LOTR artwork, and contributions to the film set. My copies of the books have Lee's artwork on the covers, so he's always helped my imagination along in the world of Middle-earth. The text isn't overly detailed, but I did learn a bit about the process of building the sets and miniatures that brought the series to life. Most of the images are pencil sketches, while a few are finished watercolors. Lee has a remarkable knowledge of the lore from which Tolkien drew for Middle-earth, which makes his vivid imaginations of that world all the more wonderful. LoTR came out when I was barely a teenager. I had never heard of the book series (except for The Hobbit) and didn't want to watch the films at first. In the end, we went to the cinema with our teacher to see the first movie and I instantly became a fan. The movie resonated with me and so many aspects showed the immense quality, including the care, skill and love in the designs for props.

I love how much attention to detail, care, hard work and love went into the movie project. I love the dedication and brutal will to make it happen. I love the memory of that time. Tolkien's work has inspired him ever since he read his books at an early age. Alan Lee is also inspired by nature, myth, legends and Folklore. Edit: Also, this is the first freaking book of the year and I'm already crying. WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF?!

Customer reviews

Lee references Sam's verse about the Oliphaunt, connecting Tolkien's appreciation for riddles with the Exeter Book. These are the types of details that make Lee just the right person for visioning Middle-earth. Lee contributes his own riddle:
