Animal Subjects
Illustrations categorized here are animal related illustrations created in realistic style. This type of the traditional science illustration requires a rigorous accuracy in details.
Most of illustrations that I produced here took much time in research before drawing. It usually started from physically studying the specimens at a museum or a university.
