Guillermo del Toro Deluxe Hardcover Sketchbook

Product Information

I am very much looking forward to Guillermo del Toro's dark adult fairy tale, Pan's Labyrinth; I also deeply love looking at people's journals and sketchbooks. As he explains in the video above, the 256-page hard­cov­er is a selec­tion from his note­books, where the direc­tor devel­oped many of the mon­strosi­ties we’ve seen on screen. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. Weirdly his drawing style has a roundness to it that makes his sketches of sets and mocked-up characters seem that much more friendly than in their final, terrifying iterations, but the book still gives the overwhelming impression of leafing through a satanic bible written in blood on the skin of a sacrificed victim.

From that, I’d developed the notion of the scratched script (how it’s done, too) that later became the title of the film. The delight is enhanced by the character of his observations — if you’ve ever studied any of his films with his commentary in play — he’s got a great sense of humor.

It contains visual ideas, character notes and plot details for Pan’s Labyrinth; everything from historical background about 1930s Spain, to the design of an insect, to the chemical meanings of the faces of the moon, to the way I want to destroy the hand of a thug.

The first three sketch­es, includ­ing the one above, depict del Toro’s draw­ings for Pan’s Labyrinth. He has a rich and well, creepy vision that he carefully constructs starting with detailed sketchbooks.
