Oh my god my heart. I can’t tell if this is actually observational learning, but it definitely looks like it could be - and no matter what, it is too cute.
We love these exquisitely detailed fantasy insects created by Japanese artist Hiroshi Shinno. Although completely imaginary, these hyperrealistic sculptures, their bodies made of hand-painted resin leaves, fronds, and flower petals, look like they might spring to life at any moment.
Visit Shinno’s Insect Diary to check out the original sketches for his awesome insect sculptures. To see even more of his artwork follow Shinno right here on Tumblr at @hiroshishinno.
