It would be hard to tell from these strikingly detailed animals but artist Iain Macarthur got his start drawing cartoon characters. Now he carries his sketchbook on the bus, to the cafe and everywhere else as he includes more realism and in this case pattern in his illustrations. See more of his animals (and even some cartoons) at iainmacarthur.carbonmade.com.

I love your work. I would love to see this as a fox though.
Seems like it would be amazing
Lovely, but it needs an elephant
FANTASTIC!
fantastic! I want a small tattoo of a deer, but I wanted to also integrate other small things that mean a lot to me and this is a great way to do that!
do you only sell prints?
Do you have a website? Do you do commissioned drawings? These are awesome by the way!
