Del Toro put this out in 2013. His sketches are phenomenal and it's interesting seeing the process that goes into his projects.
He literally wrote a book on his inspiration for his characters and never mentioned this.
> The idea in ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was it was going to represent the church, [so] I thought it would be powerful to use the hands with stigmata and then you put eyes on it. But although I had the idea and knew how it was going to operate, when we saw it on the set with the makeup on actor Doug Jones, everybody froze and we went, ‘Oh my God, this is amazing.’
Those dumb fucking people finding symbolism where there is none by analyzing the art are annoying enough. Now we have artists retroactively creating symbolism to circle jerk with their npc friends.
I wonder what his woke symbolism for the harbinger of doom being female is.
Sometimes called a director's notebook:
Google Image Search
Interesting--searching "director's notebook" or "director's notebooks" came up nearly empty-- the magic search string is "directors notebook" (no apostrophe.)
Edit: I realize a lot of these are for Twilight. If you dig deeper down the page there are a few others. Blue -ray DVD's sometimes have a section about the director's notebook.
Edit #2: More here
I'll add more as I find it. Good question.

Highly recommend the [Cabinet of Curiosities] (https://www.amazon.com/Guillermo-del-Toro-Cabinet-Curiosities/dp/0062082841/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504235597&sr=8-1&keywords=Guillermo+del+Toro+Cabinet+of+Curiosities) book of his works if you're a fan of his. Shows quite a fair few photos of the manor along with his artwork.
He's got this freaky life size realistic wax figure of H.P Lovecraft just hanging out in the library, the manor must be nuts.
I highly recommend getting this. And NOT the Kindle version

I would think some of these will end up in this - I've got mine pre-ordered :)
