Terada Katsuya Sketch

Nice format, compact but chunky. Loads of unique artwork from a master. Good for inspiration.

Terada Katsuya is one of my favourite artists. Apart from a brief introduction by Terada, this book is purely pictures. 500+ pages of sketches. Some of scans, you can actually see the tear marks from the notepad that he drew on. My only criticism would be that the paper quality isn’t the best. Strangely, there are various points in the book where the paper changes to a better quality glossy feel. The drawings are mostly individual figures or portraits, done in his sci-fi style. I suggest looking at his Instagram page to get an idea of his style. There is so much drawing in the book, for me, this makes the book worth the price.

Great book for copying the excellent mark making and hatching. The sketches themselves are great, well worth studying for their own sake.

This book made a perfect birthday present for my husband who is a massive Terada fan, as it was released just a few days before his birthday :) Packed with a ton of various fun, fascinating and inspiring sketches. The only text seen is the afterword, which is an interesting little read about Terada-san's thoughts on drawing and his influences.

Beautiful book of his work. Just wish it was bigger but it doesn’t really matter. X

Not a lot of writing, just a big book with great illustrations, when you opens it you can see the art it’s from different of Terada’s sketch books really good book

Excelente ilustraciones

The book is just the right size to enjoy Terada San's art. It has a fantastic variety of sketches and these are printed so well. The paper quality and the presentation further enhances the experience of actually looking into a real sketchbook. The amount of sketches presented is just right to avoide fatigue as sometimes too many sketches in one book tend to keep the browsing experience a bit bizzare as the brain can not soak it all at once. Love Terada sans work and glad they curated this lovely book which is surely a book to visit and revisit from time to time.

Terada Katsuya's Sketch Book shows symbolism and mythic messages. Most likely Terada likes leaving messages in his drawings. His work is daunting, confronting, probably not for children. On the level of sheer imagination and hardcore work ethic, his work while stunningly beautiful is many times not of this world. Like he see's into the cosmos. Dragons everywhere. Hero's, beautiful Ladies and the ironic. Definitely inspiring, glad I have it. Like a puzzle not completed , this book will keep you coming back for more.

Magnifico libro de este gran ilustrador, el ejemplar llegó bastante antes de la fecha prevista y en perfecto estado, de unos 15x21 cm de alto, casi 4 cm de grosor de tapa blanda con sobrecubierta. El papel es mate con lo que no pierdes ningún detalle de los dibujos. Prácticamente no hay texto y este está escrito en Japonés e Inglés, fundamentalmente habla sobre las influencias que le han marcado a lo largo de su vida como Motoichiro Takebe, Ryotaro Mizuno, Osama Tekuza, el gran Katsuhiro Otomo o el grandísimo Moebius….realmente la imaginación de Katsuya Terada no tiene límites, es un libro para disfrutar durante horas y horas y perderse en sus mundos y sus detalles.
