Designer and illustrator Rohan Sharad Dahotre sees wildlife a little differently than the rest of us, but thank goodness he does!

His playful doodles overlaid upon gorgeous photographs of wild animals and birds are a stunning combination of intricate patterns and textures that can be found in nature.

In his series, "Animal Doodles," lions and crows are adorned with plumage and jewels that make them look extra regal.

"What started as a casual experiment on a bored evening as my first attempt doodling on images left me with a newfound love for animals and illustration," Dahotre wrote. "Not only was it a satisfying creative experiment, but also an enriching learning experiment."
