One of my main passions in illustration is animal art, particularly ornithology; the study of birds. Capturing animals expressions and emotions and building textures to create feathers and fur are what I enjoy the most. Recently, I have been creating pet and animal commissions, producing images with great detail to capture a true likeliness to owners beloved pets or even their favourite animals.
