My name is Yulia Drobova. I'm an artist and illustrator, currently living and working in Berlin, Germany.
I create editorial and commercial illustrations using a variety of techniques. I love experimenting a lot with digital and analog approaches to illustration.
I have worked for Süddeutsche Zeitung (Germany), Holland and Barrett (UK), Panera Bread (USA), Médecins Sans Frontières (Uzbekistan), UNICEF (Uzbekistan), Institut Français (Uzbekistan), Batenka.ru (Russia), Yandex (Russia), Novaya Gazeta (Russia) and many more. 
I'm delighted to be among the finalists of Golden Pinwheel Young Illustrator's Competition 2020 and Unpublished picture books contest 2021.  I was also the winning finalist of Bologna Children's book fair in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
With my friend and colleague Olga Epikhina we run an online drawing club Brush Up Club and an online magazine about illustration Brush Up Mag 
Now I'm open to all interesting collaborations, I'm ready to create editorial and commercial illustrations, illustrations for children's books and apps. Don't hesitate to contact me through the contact form on this website. I speak Russian, English, French and German.
