I received my copy of the 2011 sketchbook today. It's even more massive than I expected! There's a lot of white space in the book, but I don't see that as a negative. The sketches range from very loose, almost ghosted images, to full watercolor renders. Content ranges from nudes / anatomy / sexuality to military / day-in-the-life / comical. The artist has a great style and quality of line, and he plays with proportions very well. His work is simply amazing; I think it will be studying his style for a long time to come.
I highly recommend this book, but probably won't let my son thumb through it any time soon. This is a shining star in my art book collection. I'll be looking into purchasing his 2007 Sketchbook once it's available.
