Car graphics that are hard to distinguish from the photo.Artist Nikola Shulgi has appeared before with his stunning 3D graphics. Today we will look at his cars. A little history before we get down to business. Čuljić describes how he loved to draw anything and everything as a child. School and other commitments fueled his love of art. He restored it again after more than 20 years. He dedicated whatever spare time he had, and the joy of creating art made him feel like a prize rather than a chore. He’s now making a living and couldn’t be happier. It’s […]

This post is the result of a one-month mermaid challenge.Threeleaves describes how a year earlier the artist had only managed to produce 20 pieces. This year, Threeleaves managed one mermaid for every 31 days. The ones you see below are some of my favourites. I really like the imagination behind these illustrations. Mermaids adaptations of various sea creatures and inspirations from cartoon characters. Manta and jellyfish are my favourites. The pieces appear to be a combination of watercolor paint and fine detail pen. Legendary creatures are made even more special with cross-species mixtures. Have fun choosing your favorites and thinking […]

Hands and feet are of particular importance to this talented artist.South Korean artist WanJin KIM gives his work realistic proportions and colours. He achieved this with a mixture of colored pencils, acrylic paints, and inks. As I said above, the anatomical features that take center stage in most of these illustrations are the hands and feet. Most of the body popping/emerging from it fades away as a feature the artist isn’t really interested in, or as a way to focus our view on aspects that KIM wants us to pay attention to. An aspect of the human figure that is […]

Pencil, markers and pens were used to create these elegant drawings.Hungarian artist Aliz Buzas brings a taste of many different countries, with the best graphic design in her sketchbook. The pictures are perfectly drawn and colored, so that at first they look as if they were shot using a program. I like all of the graphics below, the ones that stand out slightly are: Tom and Jerry in Budapest and the London jazz scene. And a cyclist in Holland and… I’m going to park myself here. An opportunity for you to have a look at it and choose your favourite. […]

Some of the most famous architecture in movies drawn with ink on paper.Angi is a company that defines itself as follows: “Honoring our evolution from a simple list of contractors to your home for everything in the home.” They’ve compiled sketches from some of the world’s most iconic cinematic genres. I’ll quickly include them below, as you can see more in the pictures. The Lord of the Rings (The Hobbit and JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of The Rings. An earlier batch of the latter was recently made into a streaming series.) Game of Thrones (Which recently began exploring the times […]

Oil paintings have something special about them.British artist Glenn Brown has a very personal way of painting portraits. His works look almost like carefully placed strips of paint to create likeness. He does not strive for a realistic or semi-realistic look. Not least, you can definitely describe them as people. Only when you look at them up close can you tell they don’t present as an ordinary person. As I said above, there are details missing from what we might refer to as photorealistic images, and there are more details than we will find in the overall picture. Sometimes more […]

Ink drawings with a subtle sprinkling of surrealism.Russian artist Elena Lemkina now lives and works in Germany. Here’s an excerpt from her site: “She specializes in printmaking, watercolors, ink illustrations, and jewelry layouts.” There’s a lot I like about Lemkina’s work: Her black-and-white settings. Illustration style and presentation. The antique look and feel of art. Help in a non-simple way by using beautiful and subtle font. Use them specifically for animals and molds. And those fantasy/surreal allusions you get at every turn. I put all likes into a bullet, as it would take a long time for each one to […]

Scenes full of information and details. Expressed through drawings and paintings.Rain Szeto is the amazing artist who manages to deliver so much information in these illustrations. Still, it maintains contrast and a clear view of what’s going on. I’ve noticed this a lot with some artists. They have the skill to draw a very complex drawing, but they fall off a bit at the last stage. There is so much to see that it is difficult to discern and separate individual objects. The lack of contrast seems to make it all merge into one. As you can see from the […]

I like not picking on surreal art, I’m not automatically sure what’s going on.John Carling is one of those artists who make surrealism and fantasy a wonderful place full of action and adventure, for its inhabitants to live in. I like to look at art steeped in surreal subject matter. Then I wait for the characters inside, to start suggesting a story. Why are they there? what are they doing etc. Carling’s work is precise in its expression. An initial look of simplicity is swapped almost immediately with one of sophistication and a layer of meaning. For example, the elementary […]

A distinctive way to draw portraits and art in general.Artist Louie Ferreira has an interesting style of portraiture. In his colored pencil drawings, his lines are given in various shapes. Not only do these form part of the features, like the eyebrows, but they also serve as levels and contours for the face. When viewed into a distance they merge into one another, forming a multi-colored shading pattern across the drawing. In oil-on-canvas paintings, a similar effect occurs but not through lines instead, in similar tones of the same color. Again, if left out, these subtle changes in shapes, give […]
