My Annual Rude Awakening

For the last couple of years I've order Steve Rude's Annual Arr Sketchbook. I've never been disappointed and this year follows the trend. I bought it along with 3 prints and a mystery book. Not only is the art reproduced gogeously but there is insight into the artistic process.
Rude's distinctive style shines one more time and I kook forward to the 2026 offering.

Always amazed by the Dude’s sketchbooks!

I love seeing sketchbooks from my favorite comics artists, and Steve Rude’s are without peer. I bought these to support Sasha’s medical bills, and her ongoing recovery made it even more completely worth it. Thanks so much, Dude and Jaynelle!

Great stuff

Not only do you get some really great artwork; but you also get some glimpses into the process tha went into creating the pieces.

Better late than never

I didn’t realize that Steve Rude put out sketchbooks. Shame on me. Terrific art and insight to Steve thoughts.

Very nice sketchbook. There was a sale. I would not ordinarily get the sketchbook for that amount. I'll wait for the other ones.

There was a sale, it was worth it, beautiful artwork. I'll wait for the other sales to come to get the other sketch books.

Excellent as ever!

The sketchbook, now rightfully named as The Art of Steve Rude, is amazing as ever. All my possessions are currently in boxes so I can't check, but I think this is the first time that it's a non-comic character on the cover, and the image of Alice is terrific. I was able to go through the book before packing, and as always there are images that captured my imagination; unfortunately, I can't cite them here for reason of memory. But I look forward to exploring it again when I finally find its box. I know that Steve holds Star Trek in high regard, and looking at the cover makes me want to haul out the discs and watch "Shore Leave" again. Unfortunately, they're also all in boxes.

And an unrelated noted about the Rude Dude Team: my copy was destroyed in shipping, the box was abused and punctured and the book damaged. I submitted photos and they sent me a replacement straightaway.

Not just a collection of pretty pictures.

Most artists leave you as they find you; neither better or worse. The rare ones inspire, instruct, challenge and leave you better than they found you. Steve Rude is that type of artist; a game changer if you will. Steve is an eternal seeker, always striving to improve by never settling for mediocrity. Unlike other "teachers" who peddle gimmicks as knowledge, Steve leads by example. He stresses fundamentals and hard work. Steve Rude is a man who refuses to compromise his core values and artistic integrity in a world that demands we bend the knee to idiocy. He is truly a game changer.

Thank you!

I received it (and with the first hour of ooh-ing and awe-ing at it- happy to see it is Steves usual magic!)

Beautiful package!

These sketchbooks from Steve Rude art are just gorgeous. His work is beautiful to behold, and they always do such a good job with the production values on these books. I think the price is a little high and therefore have to wait for a sale, but overall you can't go wrong if you're a lover of fine art.

Hi there! Thank you for the lovely review of our 2022 Sketchtember Sketchbook LIMITED EDITION. We're thrilled to hear that you find our sketchbooks to be beautiful and well-produced. We understand that the price may seem a bit high, but we want to assure you that we always strive to offer the best value for our customers. In fact, higher sales would actually result in lower prices, as more crowdfunding support would allow us to have a higher print run and lower costs per book. On average, our books cost $10-15 per book, and we also prioritize safe and secure shipping by fully insuring and using new boxes which costs an additional $3-5. We appreciate your support and hope to see you at our next sale. Happy reading!

Great stuff!

Love these sketchbooks from Steve Rude. They're so professional and beautiful to look at. I wish they were more affordable - I was only able to snatch a few of these due to a wonderful holiday sale that was going on. I'd love to order more books like this from Steve Rude, but the shipping costs/high prices sometimes scare me away.

Scott,

Thank you so much for your kind words and 5-star review! We're thrilled you love the sketchbooks.

We understand that the price point can be a barrier for some. Our sketchbooks are indeed a labor of love, featuring limited print runs of around 500 copies based on our crowdfunding orders.

We're always looking for ways to make our products more accessible. We currently offer free shipping on orders over $50 and our shipping costs average $10-15 for US orders.

We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll consider adding a few more of these beautiful sketchbooks to your collection in the future.

Jaynelle - the power behind the throne!

Steve is lucky to have Jaynelle handling all the behind the scenes ‘stuff’ - nothing seems to be a problem for her exemplary customer service and support!

Inspiring!

My name is Adam and this order ended up being my Christmas gift. After watching some interviews of Steve doing sketches or art studies made me want to start drawing in my sketchbook on a daily basis again. Now also having one of Steve’s sketchbooks is a helpful reminder that even the pros still like to practice.

Beautiful & Informative Sketchbooks & a Surprise Signature on the "Clobbered" Print!

I had to order the "B" cover of the Sketchbook, since the Dude is known as the expert on Space Ghost and all other H-B heroes! Love it! Inside the Sketchbooks are lots of beautiful artwork of course, but also a master class of how it's done! Just amazing to explore the Dude's process and see how all of his experience continues to grow and evolve.

The "Clobbered" Thing print is gorgeous! I had to treat myself to a print of my favorite hero and Dave always makes him seem both believable and fun. Plus, Jaynelle upgraded my purchase to include a signature - thanks for this great bonus.

Even though I ordered this a while back - and it came super fast in the mail - I didn't receive it till Christmas morning. My wife squirreled it all away before I had a chance to see it! But it sure was worth the wait! Can't thank you enough!

Beautiful & Informative Sketchbooks & a Surprise Signature on the "Clobbered" Print!

It's always such a treat to pour through artwork by Steve Rude, but it's a learning experience to read through his process while going through his Sketchbooks!

The mail quickly brought 2 Sketchbooks and a Beautiful "Clobbered" Thing print, but I had to wait till Christmas morning to open them up and enjoy. Definitely worth the wait! And then to discover that Jaynelle had upgraded the print to include a Dude signature made it even better! Thanks so much! I've got days of Sketchbook studying ahead!

2023 Dude Sketchbook!

I'm never disappointed with Steve's art and sketch books! Always have interesting notes and suggestions for himself in drawing various subjects! Love seeing the art from his actual sketchbooks that he does himself and not just commissions. Nice to see the expanded pages thanks to Kickstarter too! Appreciate the quick delivery as well! Thank you!

Always beautiful artwork

The Dude delivered an amazing drawing every day in September. This tome collects them all. I’m especially fond of the Hanna-Barbera hero stuff.

Always Amazing art from The Dude

This latest collection is equal to the others in the series! A nice mix of polished commissions as only Steve can do with selected and informative pages from his personal workbooks

A beautiful book befitting of one of the best ever

Adams, Smith, Gulacy, Mignola, Powell. I've loved a number of comic book artists before and after Steve Rude, but the Dude is my all-time favorite. His skill is matched only by the joy he brings to his images.

This huge book features all the characters associated with him; Nexus, Sundra, Judah (and Kreed!), to Superman, Batman, and the Hulk, but also Big Barda, Supergirl, and countless others. And in all variety of media, finished watercolors, tons of marker illustrations, pencil studies, thumbnails and color roughs progressing to finished paintings of the Fantastic Four and Superman...it's all here and I couldn't be happier to look through it endlessly.

An Absolutely Stunning Collection

The Dude has not lost a step, if anything he’s better than ever. Beautifully designed and full of amazing work in all stages including some unedited Superman pages. I didn’t know what my life was missing but it turns out it was a Steve Rude drawing of Apache Chief fighting Galactus.
