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: Aprite il libro e scorreranno sotto i vostri occhi ammirati un intero modo magico: gli Hobbit, Moria, Lothlorien, Rohan, la Foresta di Fangorn, i Nazgul, Il Fosso di Helm, Gandalf, Minas Tirith, Galadriel, e ancora personaggi, statue, edifici, scenari mozzafiato. 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. I think the sheer splendor of Alan Lee’s stunning and immaculately detailed sketches speak for themselves; fans of the film trilogy can surely see how big an influence the artist’s concept art work had in shaping the final visual representation of the characters, creatures and locations.I love art and I love LoTR so this was perfect for me. I could talk about the beautiful drawings, the behind the scenes stories by Lee or the magic of LoTR. Instead, I want to express my feelings while reading this because there's really no dispute in the quality of this book. And there's something deeply painful in realising that there won't be a new LoTR for me. No matter how much I've loved Star Wars since forever, no matter how much I enjoy the MCU: LoTR was a special phenomenon at the perfect moment that will not be recreated for me personally. It is, indeed, the journey's end. Potenza di una matita, di una … karandash … o era … Caran d’Ache? … http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caran_d%...

Alan Lee draws a lot of inspiration from nature around in which he lives - he lives and works on the edge of Dartmoor, in Devon, England. The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook is a book by Tolkien artist Alan Lee featuring numerous of his art portraying J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. It was the first of Lee's own publications of his Middle-earth illustrations. The book thoroughly covers every significant location in the story of The Lord of the Rings: the Shire, Bree, Rivendell, Moria, Rohan, Ithilien, Mordor, Mithlond, and others. Alongside his illustrations, Lee writes about his work on the films, his relationship with Tolkien's world, and his artistic process and philosophy in general. Much of the book's commentary on the films parallels the information given in Gary Russell's series covering the art direction of the trilogy. 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.Lee ha impugnato una matita e, più semplicemente, ha dato sostanza ... del sogno alla Terra di Mezzo di Tolkien.
