Impressive Pen Doodles by Lei Melendres

I've had my eye on Lei Melendres for quite some time now. Probably best known for his detailed notebook and sketchpad drawings, the 25-year-old Filipino illustrator has been featured in numerous blogs and websites because of his impeccable skill with pen and paper. Some of his works were commissioned by clients while others were made just for fun, but all of them will grab your attention.

Lei has earned thousands of fans online and his Instagram account alone boasts more than 20,000 followers. He is also the head of Doodle Art Enthusiasts (DAE), the largest doodling community in the Philippines. Seen here are several of his of recent drawings, but you can see more by scrolling through his online portfolio.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!
