In The Hobbit Sketchbook, artist Alan Lee displays and explains "hundreds of his sketches and early conceptual pieces that reveal how the project [The Hobbit films] progressed from idea to finished art."
In February, I reviewed The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook. My comments there apply here—I love Alan Lee's art and am delighted that his evocative, lyrical style was reflected in the films. And I never cease to be amazed at how much work goes into such movies . . . to think how many sketches were produced to create a few-second scene is mind-boggling. I enjoyed the commentary to that effect in addition to the pictures.
