Book Of Drawings ( Artist Shailesh Khandeparkar )

Shailesh Khandeparkar is a free lance illustrator who is located in Mumbai. I really like his work because of how all of his illustrations have a natural / organic element to them and how he makes some of them feel like it is part of a scrapbook and both of these techniques that he uses interest me.

This is my favourite illustration that he has created and it is of an elephant that is built up out of detailed leaves and vines and other natural foliage, with all the elements that stand out of this illustration it all says to me that animals are one of the only natural things there are left on the planet.
I think he has uses a fine liner to create separate parts of the leaves and plants and then moved them into Photoshop and copy and pasted the same design on top of each other and eventually built up the shape of the elephant.
