Yo is a London based illustrator who describes her works as emotive, dynamic and immersive. Having lost ourselves daydreaming about inhabiting her compositions, we couldn’t agree with that description more.
Her works start life as pencil thumbnail sketches, switching to Photoshop once she has nailed the composition. Colour is added next, to flesh out the line work and once that’s locked-in she works it all up in Photoshop adding texture and grain.

Yo Hosoyamada
Bio.
Inspiration.
Yo’s inspiration comes from the spaces she immerses herself in, whether that’s from travelling, or transporting herself with books and cinema. People are an almost constant theme in her work too and add what she calls “the life and soul” to her illustrations.
If she’s not working, Yo can be found exploring the museums of London, running or playing the piano.
