Hiroki Takeda is not your typical artist. His incredible watercolor style is undeniably unique. Takeda uses watercolor and floral and fauna designs to paint stunning portraits of animals, from cats and dogs to tigers and hedgehogs.

The Japanese artist has clearly made a name for himself with his distinct style and each portrait is equally stunning and impressive. On Instagram, he has over 26k followers and we can only imagine that animal and art lovers will continue to flock to him, inspired and impressed by his style.

In an interview with Bored Panda, Hiroki said: “I knew I wanted to draw pictures with flowers and plants as motifs when I was searching for original artworks. When I was looking at pictures of animals, the flow of their hair looked like leaves, and the scales of iguanas looked like a collection of flowers. At that time, I felt that there might be some unique expression that I can apply to my paintings.”
