Laura, Ryden Girl

 

Small gift for my wife, a Mark Ryden fan.


Incidently, I promised myself I'd never work with the photoshop airbrush tool to paint something entirely ... but was kinda okay ...

Beautiful animal anatomy, and free!

I  stumbled upon a treasure trove of beautiful animal anatomy  ... I'm so dizzy with these that I had to share. The plates are taken from a book entitled Handbuch der Anatomie der Tiere für Künstler ... or Atlas of Animal Anatomy for Artists, published between 1898 and 1925, by Wilhelm Ellenberger and Hermann Baum, and medical illustrator, Hermann Dittrich. 


These are stunning - well scanned - and free!
