Yulia Novikova
I am a Canadian illustration and concept artist who specializes in detailed line drawings and humanoid designs. Throughout my journey, I've found inspiration in history, mythology, and human anatomy. This has lead to my interest in video games, film, and books that focus on my influences. I’ve had 5 years of experience working with other artists on collaborative pieces, and it has been an exciting part of my life. For me, art is both a passion and profession.
