]]> Lucy Joyce is a British artist specializing in life-like wildlife and pet artworks. Her works pack an impressive amount of detail, capturing animals in such a realistic way that you often have a feeling you are looking at a photograph.

Joyce uses pencil, pastel, and paint during her creative process, which allows her to replicate the features of her subjects in all of their beauty.

Arguably, the true testament to her artistic talent is her Midnight series. Here, Joyce paints on a black background, which helps her to highlight the features of every animal with the monochromatic color palette. This results in captivating paintings that resemble fine art photography in every way possible.

“Bringing together a fascination with the animal kingdom and a natural leaning towards realistic art, I enjoy exploring a diverse range of subjects, and my detailed work aims to celebrate every inch of their individual characteristics and natural beauty, bringing them to life on canvas,” Joyce explains in an artist statement posted on her website.

Joyce’s artwork is quite popular on social media, especially on Instagram, where she has more than 170K followers. Her paintings also captured the attention of some big brands, and she recently created a piece for one Lamborghini dealership in the UK.

]]> The animal kingdom has got themselves another aspiring artist. An adorable rescue pig, known as Pigcasso, has been recently impressing the art world with his unique paintings that are already drawing huge interest in auctions.

Pigcasso’s story began in 2016 when he was just a one-month-old piglet sentenced to a short life in a slaughterhouse. Luckily for the pig, South African animal lover Joanne Lefson managed to save him from the cruel destiny and get him to her sanctuary, where she hoped to provide him with a better life.

The little pig was naturally shaken after his slaughterhouse experience and was making a mess wherever he would go. The only thing he didn’t destroy was some old paintbrushes, which prompted Lefson to think the pig had artistic aspirations.

Lefson soon decided to provide Pigcasso with some paints, brushes, and canvas and waited to see what would happen. To her surprise, the pig went straight to work and started painting.

Since then, Pigcasso has created hundreds of artworks, with some selling for thousands of dollars on the sanctuary’s official website. Reportedly, one even sold for more than $20,000, which made it the most expensive animal painting ever. All the funds collected through sales of Pigcasso’s art are invested in the Farm Sanctuary, which is home not only to the pig but also to cows, chickens, sheep, goats, and other rescued animals.

My second piece for @cartoonnetworkofficial is up on their page! This time I got to draw Panda (Pan Pan 🤗) from We Bare Bears. I drew this more in my style than Ice Bear and Seal 🌿 fun fact I had to re-film myself drawing this piece 3 times (of my own accord). CN only knows about the first 2 🤫 😅 they were SO nice about everything, especially my lack of knowledge in filming myself draw and gave me lots of helpful pointers. I still have a lot to learn about filming but I hope you enjoy the draw with me video of panda on CN’s YouTube page! Panda would probably tell us all to take a cute selfie today 🐼 . . . . . #cartoonnetwork #webarebears #webarebearsfans #panda #illustration #artbasel #illustree #illustrateddoris #art #drawing #procreateapp #ipadproart #pandawebarebears #childrenswritersguild #scbwi #moreillustrations #illustration_best #artguide_illustration #cutedrawing #aquarelle #watercolor #cuteart #happyart #best_of_illustrations
