Incredible how some spots in the fur makes a difference. Above a jaguar without spots and below the same jaguar with spots. It is like when tattooed people say that they feel naked without their tattoos.

Finalizei um projeto de ilustração científica. Na fase de preparo dos arquivos para download o autor do trabalho pede: "Lucas, se possível tem como tirar a xxxxx da ilustração?"

Super curioso para saber o nome de plantas nativas aqui da região da Chapada Diamantina, em Morro do Chapéu-BA. Será que o Raphael @guiadafloresta.bsky.social poderia me ajudar? 🙏. Essa daqui chamou minha atenção

Botanical illustration - Catasetum mattosianum
In old times (even nowadays) the botanical arts were made using gouache and watercolor technics. Some illustrations were made using pointillism as well. Here I show that botanical arts, also, can be made using digital technics.
