SKETCH is a grand 512-page illustrated compendium assembling Katsuya Terada’s “rakugaki” sketches and drawings, many of which had existed privately in sketchbooks or exhibited in solo shows. The book spans Terada’s spontaneous line work in pencil, ink, brush pen, marker, and digital media—revealing his process of creating freeform imagery in one shot without preliminary drafts. Never before has such a volume of his raw concept drawings been gathered together: the result is an immersive visual journey through his ever-evolving fantasy, character, and environment studies, with echoes of Moebius, Otomo, and protestations of visual imagination. This volume will appeal to illustrators, concept artists, and fans interested in the thinking behind the imagery.
