TERADA KATSUYA SKETCH Paperback – January 4, 2022

If your into or wanting to get into line drawing, or just enjoy viewing line drawings then this is a great book. The book is full of drawings. A lot of them are similar. If drawings had a genre, and maybe the do, then all the drawings in this book would be of the same genre. If you like what you see in the preview images and in other reviews then you will want to get this book as the other drawings are of the same quality and aesthetics. I'm not sure on the quality of the binding yet. The binding feels loose and there are different kinds of paper. The book has held up so far and I've been through it a few times and bent the spine at certain places where I wanted it to stay open. Its a really thick book.

The amount of sketches in this book is incredible. Already one of my favorite art books.

Love it, it's a great coffee table book

I purchase several sketch books from big name artists and Terada was no different. His work put me into a drawing bender to the point where my hand was so sore from drawing and experimentation I had to stop myself for a whole day just to recuperate. Just glancing through the sketch book will motivate you to draw, it's hard to explain what it does to you psychologically but it will give you tons of motivation and inspiration that is non stop.He has a very gritty style in some of the drawings and other's are technical masterpieces which are a mix of the Asian style artwork and cyber punk meeting somewhere in the middle. His artwork sort of reminds me of GI but in a different way. The illustrations and each drawing seems to be on a different type of paper in the sketch book. Who does that? Love it because its so unique most sketch books are all one type of paper, not this beast.For the price point and the quality of the sketchbook don't even match, the quality of this sketch book you would expect to spend at a minimum of a 100 bucks. This one far surpasses the price point and its quality in both construction and the quality of the artwork it contains. If you are into drawing, I am telling you pull the trigger on this one, you will not be sorry. I even started to look into obtaining his older sketchbooks because his style feels so unique and not copies of what other artists do.

Great print and beautiful book

I was concerned this would be a copy of his "Rakugaki" book with a new, English cover. But it was NOT! It was all new sketches he's done! While I love his polished finish pieces, seeing his sketches shows how his mind works behind the scenes and when he's being more casual. If you're a fan of Terada and love looking at sketchbooks, then this is a must have book!

The reason for four stars is because it is not protected. It is not laminated with transparent paper and that means that the sheets are not protected and look used, especially if it is for a gift. They should think about that, when it comes to books. Other than that, it's beautiful and worth buying.

The media could not be loaded. If you like Terada Katsuya this is a book with a ton of pages , all drawings from beginning to end . Similar to other books from him but with a lot of more pages for your money . As the cover says these are sketches , not very elaborate , but very fun as sketches should be I think . If I need to judge I will say 1to 10 for me is a 10 because:- Very good value for the money- A lot of pages-A ton of sketches
