Chinese designer and illustrator Rlon Wang has created a beautiful series of animal portraits that he had hand-drawn and painted.
He draws each animal down to its last detail before coloring them in a variety of tones to bring out the subtle gradient for each creature.
The result is a wonderful collection of unbelievably realistic animal portraits which includes a grasshopper, a chameleon and a peacock.
A detailed process of his works can be seen here.
