Food Illustration and Travel Illustration Portfolio | By illustrator and artist Yaansoon

About Yaansoon

Yaansoon is the artist alias of a freelance digital and pen-and-ink illustrator who produces culturally informed illustrations for clients, art directors and graphic designers looking for food illustration, travel illustration, illustrated maps, and women empowerment artwork with a multi-cultural Mediterranean feel. Having travelled to over 20 countries in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, she brings some of that exposure into her illustrations, which transmit an acute attention to cultural flavour. With multi-cultural roots that include Moroccan and European ancestry, Yaansoon is currently based in Jordan, with clients in Italy and the UK, including Italian book publisher Sellerio Editore, and UK-based DIFD Inclusive.

FOR A SOCIAL BIO, PLEASE VISIT The BLOG’S ABOUT PAGE.

Yaansoon Illustration + Art is a member of the Association of Illustrators (AOI), offering culturally-informed food illustration, travel illustration, illustrated maps, and women empowerment illustrationMemberships: Yaansoon is a member of UK-based Association of Illustrators (The AOI), a not-for-profit trade organisation promoting contemporary illustration and maintaining industry standards. The AOI has members in around 40 countries worldwide.

Illustration Technique: Yaansoon usually works in pen and ink, producing linear drawings which she then digitises to complete her artwork with a Wacom tablet. Now and again she’ll experiment with collage, introducing different royalty-free photos and textures into her illustrated compositions. She also likes to incorporate different analogue mediums into her digital artwork, including  gouache and watercolour, which are also digitised to be incorporated into her final artwork. The artist works with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and occasionally with Corel Painter Essentials 5.

Illustration Style:  Yaansoon’s style is culturally informed and inspired by a combination of influences, mainly travel, cultural curiosity, and her keen interest in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food culture, folk handcrafts and tribal heritage. These include handmade Moroccan, Tunisian, and Italian ceramics, hand-stitched and hand-woven tribal and Levantine textiles, hand-stamped Italian kitchen linens, and hand-carved Syrian and Lebanese wooden furniture, marquetry, and intricate inlays.
