Terada Katsuya Sketch

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

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.

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
