Magia, the Ciruelo Sketchbook
 

This magnificent volume, published at the beginning of the year 2000, features works that you won't see anywhere else: preliminary sketches and personal drawings from his notebooks. Ciruelo makes many intricate pencil drawings, to make sure the final painting will come to life. In fact, the finished painting comes directly from a finished pencil, which is transferred to the canvas. This book contains many such drawings and more.
The Boli-Tek is a totally new technique developed by Ciruelo; it's also showed and explained in Magia.
