]]>What’s even more impressive is that they look very realistic, even matching the real-life size ones. Big or small, all kinds of insects are a part of his growing portfolio. The artist starts by creating the skeleton and adds the details with translucent craft paper. The result is incredible, looking like real wings that reflect light.
Saitoh doesn’t exactly try to get every detail perfect: “Since we are not making specimens or replicas, we prioritize the impression, characteristics, and sensation of appearance rather than rigorously measuring the dimensions and creating proportions accurately,” his website reads.
He enjoys leaving some room for imagination, so that the people seeing his art can fill the gaps themselves. He also believes that “it does not make much sense to create details that cannot be discerned by the human eye,” since his goal is for people to see his work in person.

Gefen mostly uses watercolor but often adds ink, various types of paper, or anything else she thinks of. Her unique style is a result of combining realistic and abstract elements. She finds inspiration in vintage fashion illustrations and analog documentary photography.

]]>Williams works with clients like Spotify, and one look at her work is enough to see why they are choosing her. She first took up illustration when she was a kid. In 2017, she started sharing her work with the world as she was attending a communications design course at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. “Creating my own illustrative worlds has always been exciting to me, they’re like little worlds to escape to,” she tells It’s Nice That.
Once she decided to put herself out a bit more, her art gained a lot of attention from relevant sources, bringing her more work. “It’s all resulted in me now doing what I love as a career, and I’m so thankful for all the support I’ve received from people and other creatives along the way,” she notes.

]]>Houtkamp took up stained glass art recently despite it being common in his family. Growing up in Rockford, Illinois, he watched his father Frank work with stained glass for years. “I grew up watching him work and hanging out at his studio,” he tells Creative Boom. “I’ve always been an artist but I didn’t really consider working with glass until 2019. My dad taught me thoroughly even though I lack his masterful patience.”
He explains that the process is simple but perfecting the technical details can get difficult. The details make all the difference when it comes to the final result, and his father taught him to be patient and thoughtful with every piece.
The artist is mostly inspired by childhood nostalgia that comes as memories of coloring books, video games, candy, Pokemon cards, Happy Meal toys, and more. Find more of his work on his Instagram account with almost 13k followers. Scroll down to see our favorites.

]]>“I originally wanted to be a graphic designer, so I did some design work at first,” Hikaru tells It’s Nice That. “But during the course of my work, I realized that I was more interested in the illustrations used on posters and packages than in the designs themselves, so I started illustrating.”
The influence of her graphic design background can be seen in her work, but her ability to replicate printing techniques in digital tools absolutely steals the show.
The artist has recently started exploring ceramics too, just as a way to relax. It’s her way to get away from the screens and create something three-dimensional in the real world.
Her plans for the future include creating more creative and overall better advertisement illustrations and continuing to grow her social media following. Scroll down to see some of her recent work.

]]>Hagale uses simple tools—a piece of off-white paper and a pencil to create fascinating illustrations. She uses a lot of white (or in her case, off-white) space for better effect. It feels like her illustrations can breathe which makes them very refreshing.
There are three reasons why she chose this style. Her graphic design education background is one of them. In graphic design, according to her, “the message is everything and anything that gets in the way of that may as well not be there,” she tells It’s Nice That. The second reason is personal, and it’s that she finds this kind of style calming to draw. The third reason is what she hopes to achieve with the viewer. She wants the people seeing her art to be able to focus on one thing completely.
Her Instagram page currently has almost 500,000 followers and we recommend you check it out if you want to see more of her work. In the meantime, see some of our favorites below.

Cowles has a rich background in creative work. She was born in NYC and studied textiles at Rhode Island School of Design.
