Product Description
Product Description
Frank Frazetta has excelled in a wide variety of artistic formats, from fine art to paperback covers, comic books to record albums. His atmospheric worlds of sinewy superheroes, seductive sirens, and vivid monsters are wonderfully detailed, fully realized, and unmistakably his. This book gives fans an intimate glimpse of Frazetta's creative process by showcasing not only black-and-white and full-color drawings from his sketchbooks, but concept art as well, showing the artist's raw imagination and problem-solving skills. Printed on deluxe art paper and featuring personal and previously unpublished material, these "rough works" offer a fascinating look at how a modern master creates.

Rough Work is the sketchbook for Frank Frazetta.
Right at the start is a biography of Frank Frazetta, a background of his life and career. The rest of the book is a collection of his sketches and concept art. They are created with different medium. He's the legend in fantasy art and the illustrations, even though rough, shows. There are lots of drawings on warriors and women, which is his specialty.
It's a very simple sketchbook and should appeal to fans.

Featuring sketches and concept drawings of one of the great masters of fantasy and sci-fi art, this book presents a complete and living memory of the great Frank Frazetta. Having grown up on his amazing illustrative works - centre-piece of the legendary Tarzan and Conan - through this book I re-discovered where to find inspiration; how to simplify the figurative concept; how to render movement, body language and facial expressions, like a master of the art form. Absolutely awesome and a essential reference source for anyone dreaming of suceed in the field of fantasy and sci-fi art!

I bought this at the same time as Icon which makes a nice companion as many of the finished works in Icon are shown in sketch form here. The illustrations vary from doodles all the way to painted 'dry runs' for the final production. Frazetta's roughs are often superior to other artists' finished works.
My mark of four is not a reflection on the quality of illustration, rather the lost mark is because of how the book has been made. The book is quite small and bizarrely has a front cover showing a part detail of a final painting rather than a 'rough'. The padded cover seems to be trying to make the book bigger than it actually is. I think the book was intended to come across as a small sketch book, but doesn't quite work.
The contents themselves are excellent - even Frazetta's signature is a work of art!
