Istanbul-based Turkish artist Samet Türkan is showcasing his talent on Instagram and in a short period of a few months of posting regularly, he already has accumulated 47.5k fans. He has found a niche in sketching something everybody loves—pop culture characters, and cartoon characters are his specialty. He shows his pencil sketches and reference pictures in the same frame, so you can compare how detailed these characters from Ice Age, Toy Story, Shrek, our favorite superhero movies, and more are.

Türkan told Bored Panda about the idea of posting his artwork online: "My drawings were highly appreciated by my teachers and friends. I decided to create a social media account, but I didn't care much about it. I have continued to produce content regularly for 2-3 months. Cartoon character and animated character drawings are something I have never seen before so I wanted to try it."

Türkan is currently studying painting at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University and we can witness his real-time improvement on Instagram! For now, check out what he has created so far and upvote your favorite drawings!
