This is the girl from Tame Impala's music video | 2016 | Pen on paper

Just a page trying to depict the rainforest and road. I got lost in trying to draw the vegetation. I felt frustrated about this drawing at the time, but now I like it.

This spread was unfinished for over a year and I finally got around to completing it. Micron on Molskine sketch grade paper.

A quick sketch of a man holding a cup of coffee. This was drawn from a reference photo. Lately I've been practicing portraits. Trying to limit myself to 20 mins or so and just draw the basic form as best I can. Otherwise I'll fiddle with the details and spend hours trying to adjust things. Sketching in ink helps also since I can't erase. Need to get more comfortable sketching faster, but I like the way this turned out.

I love how typography, when selectively filled in, becomes a rhythm, a cadence, a song.

I have made a lot of vases with different items than flowers. Like exotic animals, make up and other crazy stuff. The illustrations is all digital and vector.

My son asked me to design a tattoo for him and this is what I have come up with so far. I think he is going to love it! What do you think?

Graphite and watercolours,

Well, this is my birthday present for Adit who recently upload several cooking video on youtube (called FOOD PAPA). And now I know that I love illustrating food.

Lets Rock is Dramen in Sketches with my i pad

These are ink applied with a brush/watercolor pen to a fairly sturdy sketchbook. They mostly feature aristocrats and irritated children.

Made from tracing the shadow of my hand holding my pencil. An for some reason Pearl Jam started playing in my head.

These patterns are all made from drawings pulled from my 2017 sketchbook project. I studied fiber arts in grad school and learned how to do repeat patterns - the old fashioned way by cutting and taping paper together... I haven't done any in 25 years - until this month!

Graphite work on a long format just outside of my home

One delicate mohawk.

I went to Florida and kept a chronicle of my adventures! This is part 1 of 3, in which my husband comes down with Lyme disease and I go to Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom. I realize my address is in here, but it's a PO Box, so I'm not worried. Feel free to send me drawings; I'll send you something back if you include a return address.

© YLYA YOD I had an idea to create illustrations of fruit set in autumn 2017, and have been working on the realization of this idea throughout February/March 2018. In all, I have created 11 illustrations: apple, apricot, banana, cherry, grape, lemon, orange, pear, plum, tomato, watermelon. Using rapidograph to form the shape, I am coloring my works digitally in Adobe Photoshop. Here is an apple!

Character concept doodles

This coffee cup doodle is in honour of everyone who works or who has ever worked the night shift. For those of us who work all night and still have responsibilities that can only be dealt with during the day, sleep often seems like a luxury for those who work the day shift. Coffee is our go to comfort and caffeine kick, our best friend who we can always count on to help us through those working nights when everyone else is sleeping.
