Michael Rosario, under the online name of Michaelldrawss, has been drawing for as long as he can remember. He says he first started sketching at around four years old, beginning with anime-inspired drawings before gradually shifting into realistic freehand studies that helped him sharpen his sense of proportion and detail early on. A big turning point came in 2017, when he moved into digital art and realized how much freedom the medium gave him. With digital tools, he could experiment endlessly with textures, lighting, and color. This is where the emotional realism that defines his work today really began to click. What stands out about Michael’s portraits isn’t just how lifelike they look, but how personal they feel. Many of his commissions revolve around the bond between people and their pets: the way someone holds their dog close, the visible trust in an animal’s expression, the small gestures that say everything without words. His portraits often truly feel like a moment being preserved. To learn more about how his style developed, our team reached out to Michael about his background, process, and what inspires him most.

At first, I used to draw anime, and over time, I began exploring realistic drawing freehand, which helped me develop a better understanding of proportions and details.” #2 © Photo: michaelldrawss #3 © Photo: michaelldrawss “In 2017, I transitioned into digital art, and that became a major turning point for me. I discovered that digital tools allowed me to experiment much more with textures, lighting, and color. That experience directly shaped the evolution of my current style, which blends realism with a strong emotional focus.” #4 © Photo: michaelldrawss #5 © Photo: michaelldrawss Since a lot of his portraits start from real-life photos, we also asked what his creative process looks like: “I usually work from photo references in most cases. They help me define composition, proportions, and the overall atmosphere I want to achieve.” #6 © Photo: michaelldrawss #7 © Photo: michaelldrawss “Once I have the reference, I begin with the base sketch. When I move into the digital phase, I like to experiment with lighting and tonal adjustments. I modify colors, contrast, and temperature to give the piece its own identity beyond the original photograph. That reinterpretation process allows me to transform a simple image into an illustrated work with its own character and emotional depth.” #8 © Photo: michaelldrawss #9 © Photo: michaelldrawss Because animals make up a majority of his work, we wanted to know where his inspiration comes from: “I love animals, and a big part of my inspiration comes from them. I’m deeply moved by the connection that exists between people and their pets, that genuine emotional bond that often doesn’t need words. That’s why many of my works focus on capturing that relationship: the gaze, the gestures, the physical closeness. More than just drawing characters, I’m interested in portraying the emotional link between them and their animal companions.” #10 © Photo: michaelldrawss #11 © Photo: michaelldrawss And finally, we asked what helps him take an idea from concept to finished artwork: “What helps me the most is emotionally connecting with the idea. I don’t start thinking only about the technical side of the drawing, but about the story or feeling I want to convey.” #12 © Photo: michaelldrawss #13 © Photo: michaelldrawss And finally, we asked what helps him take an idea from concept to finished artwork: “What helps me the most is emotionally connecting with the idea. I don’t start thinking only about the technical side of the drawing, but about the story or feeling I want to convey.” #14 © Photo: michaelldrawss #15 © Photo: michaelldrawss “I organize visual references, define the composition, and from there I let the process flow step by step: sketch, structure, lighting, color, and final details. I also really enjoy experimenting during the process. Sometimes the idea evolves while I’m working on it, especially when I play with lighting and tonalities. For me, a piece is finished not only when it looks good, but when it successfully communicates the emotion I had in mind from the very beginning.” #16 © Photo: michaelldrawss #17 © Photo: michaelldrawss #18 © Photo: michaelldrawss #19 © Photo: michaelldrawss #20 © Photo: michaelldrawss #21 © Photo: michaelldrawss #22 © Photo: michaelldrawss #23 © Photo: michaelldrawss #24 © Photo: michaelldrawss #25 © Photo: michaelldrawss #26 © Photo: michaelldrawss #27 © Photo: michaelldrawss #28 © Photo: michaelldrawss #29 © Photo: michaelldrawss #30 © Photo: michaelldrawss #31 © Photo: michaelldrawss #32 © Photo: michaelldrawss #33 © Photo: michaelldrawss #34 © Photo: michaelldrawss #35 © Photo: michaelldrawss #36 © Photo: michaelldrawss #37 © Photo: michaelldrawss #38 © Photo: michaelldrawss #39 © Photo: michaelldrawss #40 © Photo: michaelldrawss #41 © Photo: michaelldrawss #42 © Photo: michaelldrawss #43 You Might Also Like: Home Inspectors Share The Funniest And Most Questionable Things They’ve Seen On The Job (41 Pics) © Photo: michaelldrawss This Artist Transforms Simple Photos Into Stunning Portraits Of Pets And Their Humans (43 Pics) Reviewed by New Viral Feed on 12:53 Rating: 5

While the exact procedure has not been publicly confirmed, reports suggest it may have involved liposuction combined with abdominoplasty. The influencer was reportedly recovering at her family’s beach house in Guarujá when she began experiencing severe breathing difficulties.   Ver esta publicación en Instagram   Una publicación compartida por Patrícia Ganden (@patyganden) Borges later shared that Dias suffered a pulmonary clot and two seizures before being rushed to the hospital. “She had a pulmonary clot, had 2 seizures, and when she arrived at the hospital, she was no longer alive,” wrote Borges in an emotional Instagram Story. “I want to thank you for the countless messages, thank you all who took the time to worry and send messages. If you can pray for the family regardless of religion, I will be extremely grateful!” Dias was a mother of two daughters, and she last posted on her Instagram in December 2025 Image credits: _biancadias Dias lived in Mauá and was the mother of two daughters. Her last Instagram post was shared in December 2025, featuring a selfie taken inside a car in São Paulo. Her bio, which is written in Portuguese, reads, “Vivendo no meu tempo, sem pressa e com propósito,” which means, “Living at my own pace, without rushing and with purpose”.   Ver esta publicación en Instagram   Una publicación compartida por Bianca Dias (@_biancadias) As soon as the news of her passing went viral, massage therapist Jeff Carlos wrote, “D*ath is nothing at all. Our bond has not been broken.” Fellow creator Patrícia Ganden added, “We had beautiful moments, incredible conversations. May God comfort the family.” Local authorities have reportedly launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her passing. The internet quickly turned her passing into a heated debate about beauty standards and the risks of plastic surgeries Image credits: _biancadias Several detractors questioned why someone so young would undergo major surgery in the first place. “A calorie deficit and 10k steps will take you a far way, ladies. Squats and deadlifts will give you that BBL figure. Do it the healthy way. No surgery is worth your life,” one person wrote. “She didn’t need surgery; all is vanity, unfortunately. I’m grateful because I embrace myself exactly as God created me,” another commented. Others reflected on broader societal pressure, as one said, “No such thing as perfect… learning to love and live with your imperfections is the key to success.” Image credits: _biancadias “Sad how many lives are lost from surgery. Why not just embrace the skin you are in?” added one more. “Any surgery is a risk, but plastic surgery is a lot different. I would rather work out than risk my life.” Few commenters were harsher, calling out influencers for minimizing the seriousness of plastic surgery. Image credits: _biancadias “Getting plastic surgery at that age seems wild to me,” one said, while another wrote, “It seems the average life span of an ‘Influencer’ is like 30. Avoid that profession!” “Stay natural, don’t ‘enhance’ your body… or do and suffer,” one wrote. “You influence people the way you talk, love your body before taking risks,” a fourth added. Bianca Das’s passing echoed other tragic plastic surgery tragedies   Ver esta publicación en Instagram   Una publicación compartida por Bianca Dias (@_biancadias) Dias’s demise is not an isolated case. As reported by Bored Panda, in 2023, a Brazilian influencer, Adair Mendes Dutra Junior, lost her life after complications from a popular “fox eyes” surgery. Days before his passing, he had shared images of severe swelling and infection, stating he felt something had gone “gravely wrong.” Another heartbreaking story covered by Bored Panda was reported in 2025, where a 30-year-old Aslin Fernández lost her life after undergoing a “Mommy makeover” procedure in Mexico. She was a mother of two. “You can’t influence me to get plastic surgery no mam,” wrote one netizen       Glamorous Influencer Passes Away At 27 Following Complications From Major Plastic Surgery Reviewed by New Viral Feed on 11:53 Rating: 5
