Illustrator Jenna Barton lives in Utah and creates nightmare-like portraits of animals. Dark and mystical illustrations feature a number of animals that almost look like shadows.

Barton primarily works with digital tools, sometimes adding watercolor for effect. She describes her style as “magical-realism-animal-gothic” and has been creating such works since 2017 when she completed her BFA in Illustration.

“I hark back a lot to my childhood in Idaho, as well as looking to my current environment in Utah, to inform my work. I’d like to capture the strange emotions that I always felt in rural and empty places, and the daydreams I’ve had there. It’s those liminal spaces that I like best, and I’m interested in the structures that bring the human world into nature—radio towers, houses, power lines—especially in the absence of humans themselves,” she said to This is Colossal

Portugal-based illustrator Luis Coelho draws cats and other animals using cross-hatching and stippling techniques. Though it’s definitely not a common way to illustrate animals, the result is seriously cute.

“One day I gave both my two nieces a blank sheet and I told them that they would have to decide what animals should appear on those white papers and that then I would have to draw those animals for them,” the artist told This Is Colossal.

“I also told [them] that those animals would be the guardians of their dreams and whenever they needed to get out of a nightmare they just needed to call them. What I didn’t know at that moment was that those two drawings marked the very beginning of the style that I’m working today.”

An adorable webcomic called Cat’s Café recently caught our attention. Cat’s Café follows the café owner Cat and his friends Penguin, Rabbit, Owl, and many more as they go through life dealing with the usual set of problems such as diversity and anxiety.

“Created from a place of empathy, I set out to tell relatable stories with healthy and positive outcomes,” the author of the comic said. “Knowing we all experience life in different ways, I felt it was important to define Cat’s Café as a comic that promotes acceptance and understanding. It’s a calming place where everyone can feel welcome, both the characters and the readers.”

We tend to oversee how much work goes into something that seems simple once it’s done. Take Brooke Barker’s drawings for example. An illustration of an animal next to a sad fact about that animal is nothing too complicated, yet it can take her a lot of time and effort to create her work.

First she needs to do the research. In the library, she finds the scientific papers and National Geography magazines and browses them for possible content. Then she goes home and illustrates the desired animal – by hand or on computer. Depending on the animal, this can be easier or more difficult.

“Some animals are a little easier for me to draw, especially cats and raccoons, and some are a little trickier, sloths, anteaters, anything I haven’t seen a lot,” Brooke says. If she’s not sure how an animal looks like, she does a thorough research and draws several versions before comitting to one.

And finally, this is what she gets.
