Damian is an artist from Poland, he paints a lot of portraits using oil colors on canvas and to be fair the realistic look of his art is off the charts. On his IG feed you will find not only the finished pieces but also a lot of close up pics and short videos. The ones with the varnish layer applied are surely videos I enjoy a lot, it's soooo satisfying to see a blurred out painting going back to crystal clear. It's a bit like watching Damian take the "quality" of the painting and upgrade it to full HD.

Cookie is an illustrator and character designer from Poland and I can't talk about him without saying he loves lizards, dragons and reptiles. This passion led him to explore their nature and he's now capable of drawing super expressive dragonlike and dragonborn creatures that to me are missing nothing if you compare them to the most famous D&D (and similar) figures you're used to see in the books or the guides. Apart from dragons he also creates awesome humanlike characters, animals and can really draw anything fantasy style related with ease

Alex is a 2D designer and illustrator from Indonesia and she likes to work on various themes using different styles and obtaining awesome results with all of the combinations I've seen so far. The only common ground between all the works is probably the "cartoonish" feeling (perfect for her job), but everything else is capable of surprising one way or another. I have to admit I love all the original female characters she designs

Luma is a children's book illustrator from Spain. She produces suuuuper cute artworks that really feel perfect for kids and here is why in my opinion: first of all they're joyful, colorful and really cute no matter who the protagonist is. Then you gotta see the drawings that keep the subjects simple, they're more often than not sporting rounded edges and there isn't too much to keep track of in the canvas

Ann is an artist from the United States, she mainly paints digitally and loves to do portraits. Lately she found a way of painting that looks very much like "her own" (it's a while now actually, but I don't want you to think this is the only style you'll see from her). She embraced this particular style and is now exploring cool ways to build on top of it. Needless to say I'm enjoying the journey! The high amount of lines is somewhat balanced by a restricted color palette, usually, which means the pieces achieve the goal of never looking chaotic.

Matthew is an artist based in Connecticut, his art is particularly interesting to me cause it follows a few core principles I like: it's colorful, it goes out of the schemes and it very often looks to me like a "controlled chaos". What I mean by that is many times I see the canvas full of figures, all colored, bright and energetic and the more I look at them the more I realize the first chaotic impression of the artwork fades away leaving me with answers

Yasya is an illustrator from Russia and her ability to draw and color both in traditional ways and digital ones is unmatched. I think her style would be best suited on book's covers or illustrations cause I see the genuine traits and the amazing expressivity coming out of her pieces. It's not strange she does in fact draw a lot of fanarts and illustrations inspired by books and some of those are among my favorites for sure. She does like to change the style and the medium quite often and this leads to a super wide variety of art on her feed

Yuming is an illustrator and concept artist based in the US. The most frequent type of paintings you can find in the IG feed are digital portraits ranging from realistic ones to less detailed. There is often a "fantasy" style or influence if you want. A common trait between all the works could be the amazing use of colors and light to paint super exrpessive faces (and humans in general, meaning sometimes it's not the face being expressive or important, not as much as the colors and the pose in the correct environment and painted background).

Mathias is an illustrator based in Canada and owns the cutest IG profile ever (and a bunch of other websites too, links below at the end of the post as usual). Most of my excitement has to come from the animals, I'm sure, but in general I love every artwork from Mathias I see so I'm sure the puppies are not the only reason why I like the art so much. The pieces are colorful, joyful, they have a perfect combination of colors and shapes, they usually fill up all the canvas without ever looking chaotic

Nalak is a French freelance illustrator with a very colorful and original style. Her art checks all the boxes I wanna see in a top level work starting from the color palettes to the drawings, going through her inspiration sources, her style, the way she always makes cohesive pieces and so on.. This time I have to say it her IG is criminally under-followed and I'm sure if you're reading this post there's a very good chance you want to take a minute and show her your support. It's honestly stunning to look at her art
