If you were leaving home, what would you bring with you before you left the house? Wallets, keys, mobile phones, ID cards, and nothing else you have to bring. However, for a person who draws, there is also a must-have, that is, a sketchbook, the so-called sketchbook, that is, when there is creative inspiration and creative desire anytime and anywhere, it can be taken out and recorded, so it will generally be taken wherever it goes.
If you pay attention, you must have seen a "strange person" in a park, station and other places who took out a book from his bag and scribbled and painted, and this person is most likely a painter who is creating on the spot. Sketchbooks are very precious to an artist, and if a sketchbook is accidentally lost, it will be painful for a long time, because it records the moment of inspiration and the wonderful works created.
Mike Kubu, an illustrator and graphic designer from Athens, is an artist who carries sketchbooks with him everywhere he goes, and in his opinion, his sketchbook is more precious than his wallet, and this artist is good at creating comics and abstract illustrations when he works, but in his spare time, he likes to draw sketches of animals.
Most of his sketchbooks are made with pencils, and the subjects are basically familiar animals and insects. Recently, the artist Mike Kubu posted his sketches on social platforms, attracting a lot of attention.
Stylized animal sketches can immediately catch people's attention. When we look at Mike Kubu's work, we can feel that the artist is working in a state of complete relaxation, and the loose brushstrokes, the right amount of white space, and the capture of each animal characteristic make his work have a strong attraction and make people like it.
Each of Mike Kubu's paintings doesn't take a lot of time, and some of them are created in a few minutes, all in one go. Relaxation is the state that many artists most want to have when creating, but often the more they want it, the more nervous they are. The illustrations in Mike Kubu's sketchbook not only make their own paintings relaxing, but also make people look very relaxed.
Next, let's take a look at the wonderful animal portrait paintings created by this talented artist.
