Techniques
I’m always exploring techniques! I l use sepia and black inks on paper followed by colored pencils. Sometimes I incorporate ink washes or acrylic glazes. Most recently, I’ve been experimenting with torn paper collage.

About Andrea Yomtob
After twenty years as an artist in the animation industry, I am excited to be focusing primarily on children’s book writing and illustrating. I’ve always enjoyed telling stories and connecting with kids and even more so now that I have two young children of my own.
