Before photography, it was up to artists to document plants and animals inscientific illustrations.
Poland-based artistVitor Velezdraws inspiration from this age-old practice in his series of mixed-media illustrations.
Using a combination of colored pencils, pens, and watercolors, he captures a breadth of wildlife.
From foxes to whales, these drawings cover a variety of species.
Now, he makes his own notes that border the colorful portraits of animals both large and small.
