Exquisitely Detailed Watercolor and Pencil Illustrations of the Animal World in Miniature

A post shared by Irene Malakhova (@irene_mia_) on

Russian artist Irene Malakhova of Tiny Worlds Living creates absolutely beautiful water color and pencil illustrations of animals in miniature. With exquisite attention to detail, Malakhova amazingly captures the texture of each animal’s fur/feathers, expression, personality and even feelings in a tiny one-inch square space. Malakhova is not limited to just animals, much of her tiny art encompasses the world around her as well.
