Although he likes both traditional and digital art, he explains that he recently began ‘spending more time’ in the digital world. “At first, I drew my cartoons on paper, then scan them and remade digitally. But as my work is becoming more simple, lately, I work more digitally than hand drawing. The idea comes up in every moment, but I spend a lot of time making it as simple as I can. My inspiration is mostly pop culture, movies, music and a lot of artists that I meet on Instagram,” the artist told in a statement for Sortra.

We really enjoyed browsing through his Instagram page and we believe that you will enjoy it, too. Follow him for future updates.

The artist shared on Bored Panda that he started this year in a grumpy mood and with tons of tasks to finish when he was suddenly asked to draw a greeting card for a friend. After finishing drawing of an angry duckling saying “QUACK F***ING QUACK”, he had a nice laugh and shared this sketch online.

“It quickly became apparent that it was making a few other people smile too, and so a promise was made. No matter what else life would bring in 2020, I would set aside enough time each day to draw and post a daily grumpy animal. At the end of the year, I would have 366 grumpy animals to put in a hardback coffee table book and a smile on my face,” the artist said.

So far we’ve seen a grumpy turtle, monkey, hedgehog, elephant, snake, cat and many others, and we definitely can’t wait what the artist has in store for us in the future.

Take a look at his grumpy animals in the photos below.

This 18-year-old Japanese artist, known as kudoharu125 on Instagram, is using only colored pencils to create drawings that look like real photographs. Once you see his hyperrealistic portraits of cats, eagles, dogs, and other animals, you’ll have a hard time realizing these are in fact drawings.

“I started drawing about two years ago and I was fascinated by the fun,” the artist shared with the readers of Bored Panda.

Creating these incredibly detailed drawings requires a lot of time, patience and, above all – skill. Fortunately, Kudo has all that it takes for a bright career as an artist. Oddly enough, the artist has only 2,500 followers on Instagram, but we’re sure this number will grow rapidly in the future.

Take a look at his awesome animal portraits in the photos below.

“I studied and worked as an architect so my lexicon is deeply rooted in the city, structures, and urban environments,” he explained in an interview with Form Finding Lab. “Basically, I learned how to design and build through architecture, and now I can distort, exaggerate and repeat all those architectural elements that make up a building or a city and rearrange them in my drawings.”

Inhabiting a place between fine art and illustration, Mourão creates bespoke artworks and large scale murals for various private clients, galleries, and institutions, working on selected editorial commissions as well. Originally from Portugal, and now based in Barcelona, his selected clients include Apple, The New Yorker, and The Washington Post.

Drawing on paper, wood, and metal, his techniques were acquired through trial and error. “Probably the hardest thing to figure out for me was to learn to deal with mistakes,” he admits. “Being a perfectionist is a curse in disguise because it’s very easy to get lost in an endless loop of do-undo and never get to the end of a piece. That’s why I decide to work on a medium where I can’t erase or undo. With pen and paper, there’s no backdoor.
Sure… I scream and kick the wall when I make a mistake but at the end I just have to carry on and finish the drawing.”

Take a look at some of his highly detailed work in the gallery below.

“I start on one corner, at times with marker as a base, then fine tuning with colored pencils layer upon layer for 70 hours or so to complete the piece as what I like to think of as ‘high res’!” McGoldrick told Fubiz. “The scrunching and manipulating of the subject before I draw it, influences this result also; the imperfections of the subject lead to the highly realistic drawing to fit a little more modestly incompletion.”

According to McGoldrick, she hopes to “reflect a feeling of nostalgia and brashness by sinking beauty into the almost always overlooked and forgotten items we all live around.”

She shares her work on her Instagram account where she has attracted over 5.8k followers. Scroll down to check out some of her work.

“I like to draw broken people,” the artist shared with Bored Panda. “Faces that inspired me pain, isolation, rejection. It’s my little way to remember the outsiders, the forgotten. Those are the people that interest me, the ones that have a background. Life is also pain and there is no shame or toxicity accepting that.”

The artist shares her work on her Instagram page called elena_juno where she has attracted more than 1.8 thousand followers. She also has a website where she hand-prints her drawings on paper and T-shirts.

Kadel says that her art is about getting through tough times and battling with daily obstacles, something that all people can understand. Recently, the artist started adding more character to her drawings to show the importance of other people in overcoming our problems.

“For a long time I drew these very singular images, where there was just one character in a drawing that was facing a challenge. I still do that, but lately I’ve been more attracted to groups of people. There is something more positive to me about depicting a struggle or a scenario, when there is that support system to play off of” Kadel said.

Kadel’s art is influenced by artists such as Shel Silverstein and Maurice Sendak and she mostly uses pen and ink to draw on coffee stained paper.

Take a closer look at her whimsical drawings in the photos below.

Almost every day we hear the devastating news that another animal species is coming to its end. The numbers of some endangered species have come down to only a handful of animals in the wild, while others have officially gone extinct.

Overstimulated as they are in the modern age, people tend to ignore this information, swiftly forgetting that our own species is to blame for the loss of precious wildlife diversity.

By occupying more and more space for buildings, shopping malls and parking lots, by hunting down rare animals and transforming almost every protected area into a tourist attraction, we are taking away the home of many irreplaceable critters.

Eisa Baddour is a Syrian visual designer, currently located in Milan, who has traveled all across Europe only to find that humans are brutally expanding and destroying many natural animal habitats in the process.

His project, called “Archianimals”, is drawing attention to the way we treat Mother Nature. He draws animals in the ambient of the buildings that have risen in their surroundings and begs the question: what is more important, creating another building or saving a species?

According to Eisa, humans are the most adaptable species, therefore we ought to try and adapt more, and destroy less. Check out his peculiar, touching project in the gallery below!
