Amazing Pencil And Charcoal Drawings Capturing The Expressive Souls Of Cats And Birds

Léo Forest is a contemporary artist based in Paris, France. His original artworks and limited-edition prints are frequently made available through the UK-based contemporary gallery Moosey Art.

Forest is best known for his highly expressive, vibrant animal designs, most notably his captivating portraits of cats and birds. Working primarily with traditional mediums like pencil, charcoal, and pastel, he creates highly textured drawings that blend raw sketching techniques with contemporary aesthetics. He also frequently incorporates botanical elements, such as flowers, into his portfolio. Rather than relying on digital tools or “fancy transitions,” he lets the analog charm and emotional depth of his traditional drawing skills take center stage.
