A GIANT 512-page collection of Katsuya Terada's RAKUGAKI sketches and illustrations. The one and only legendary illustrator Katsuya Terada, a.k.a. RAKUGAKING (The Sketch King), well known as a pioneer who is always seeking new ideas and motifs for his drawings, has finally revealed his RAKUGAKI sketches and illustrations, long kept only in his sketch book. Although most illustrations in this collection have appeared in Terada's previous international exhibitions (e.g., Giant Robot in Los Angeles), never before has any book collected so many of his RAKUGAKI. This is the best and most comprehensive collection of Katsuya Terada's pencil sketches, making it a must-have book for both his hardcore fans and also to illustrators in general.
Anyone getting into ink art could learn tremendously from Terada's work, the sense of form is nothing but masterful. Moebius' books were too expensive for me so I found this artist as a very similar counterpart. The book is crammed with so many drawings and sketches, it's a wonderful coffee table book or a gift to any artist. Terada's unique vision of nature and order sows the pages together seamlessly. Endlessly enjoyable and a wealth of knowledge.
