Dear editors and art directors, this is my first #kidlitartpostcard done fully on paper! 🎨

I’m Yara, an illustrator who’s super excited to work on new books with traditional mediums!

Updated portfolio: odnatamyara.com
I’m proudly represented by Jem Chambers-Black at @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

Three kids riding on a back of a giant anteater. One is taking a photo of the anteater’s face, middle kid is happily raising hands in the air, third kid is afraid to fall from anteater’s tail. The anteater is very unhappy and cranky

Hey #kidlitart folks, do any of you have scanner recommendations? I recently started adding more traditional illustrations and want to do more professional art with that, so I need a good scanner cos taking photos not always works well 😩

Obsessed with acrylic markers!!! With my ADHD it feels so nice to just “paint” without preparing all the paints, mixing colors, getting water and pallets etc lol

more art on my site!

a kidlitartpostcard for the month of September. Theres a large yellow bus, with a bunch of critters of different species racing or toddling towards the bus

A skunk in a crossguard uniform is helping critters cross infront of the bus. A doggie Dad is pushing his son, in a wheelchair over to the bus. A little guinea pig also crosses. A frantic turtle is seen running for the bus in the background

A smiley bear Momma is saying goodbye to her bear son on the left. We see a fox holding a pile of books and a few critters peeping their heads out the window

Close up of the different animals on the bus. The fox with the books is coming towards the bus. A beaver is walking up the steps. We see a mouse, bunny and a gopher peak their heads out of the bus window
