Alan Lee

i  like Alan Lee's work, he did basically all of the drawings for lord of the rings and i really like how imaginative he is and how his drawings look realistic although most of them are mythical, how detailed his drawings are, i also like his use of shading and he is probably my favourite artist in his area, which is of painting and sketching.
