We all wish
we could look at an artist’s sketchbook. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see
how the picture in their heads arrives on the page. Shaun Tan a famous
illustrator has done just that. He has shared with us some of his
sketchbook from pencil, to charcoal to full color illustrations. He’s
divided the book into sections: untold stories; book, theater, and film;
drawings from life, and notebooks. The back has an index that explains
each sketch and what it means and what it was drawn with. I wish it could
have been included with the sketch it would make the book easier to read. It
was wonderful to see into the mind and thoughts of an artist This is a
fascinating book for an artist young and old alike.
