Tolkien was able to draw.
When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit, he was already an accomplished amateur artist, and drew illustrations for his book while it was still in manuscript. The Hobbit as first printed had ten black-and-white pictures, two maps, and binding and dust jacket designs by its author. Later, Tolkien also painted five scenes for color plates, which comprise some of his best work. His illustrations for The Hobbit add an extra dimension to that remarkable book, and have long influenced how readers imagine Bilbo Baggins and his world.
I have found The Art of The Hobbit book here in Amazon. Some of these images are published here for the first time, others for the first time in color, allowing Tolkien’s Hobbit pictures to be seen completely and more vividly than ever before.
The moment you realize you will never paint or write as good as J.R.R. Tolkien

I love this book so much
and this is my favorite book. My favorite book ever written. If I could stand up and say “This was the book that changed my life forever and made me think”, it would be The Little Prince. A children’s story, a philosophical text, and a poignant adventure all in one. Beautiful illustrations. You’d be remiss to not read it. It’s just beautiful.

The creative adult is the child who survived after the world tried killing them, making them “grown up”. The creative adult is the child who survived the blandness of schooling, the unhelpful words of bad teachers, and the nay-saying ways of the world.
The creative adult is in essence simply that, a child.

This is also another book I recomend. One of my favorites. Gosh I almost forgot it existed. But it’s a beautiful, classic post modern fairy tale about a shepherd looking for a treasure. (and themes of religion ect)
If there’s a single thing I’ve ever wanted to do an animated version of, it’s this.
