If You’re Still Not Decided What Pet You Should Get, This Artist’s Illustrations Will Give You A Hint
This artist describes herself as an art director, painter, illustrator, occasional animator, vegan and animal lover and most of that shines through her beautiful artworks.
Yaoyao Ma Van As, currently living in Los Angeles, has worked with many famous brands, like Disney TV Animation, Warner Brothers Animation, Rick and Morty, Stoopid Buddy Studios, Starburns Industries, but today let's focus on her personal art project - a series of heartwarming illustrations about a girl and a dog.
"My creative ideas come from many different places, mainly my pet dog Parker is my biggest inspiration," the artist told Bored Panda. "We adopted him almost four years ago and he's been the center of our world ever since."
Yaoyao Ma Van As has been interested in art since she was a young girl. "I've been drawing since I could remember, but on and off, never really serious. I started doing these illustrations about a year and a half ago because I wanted to get back into drawing again." When asked about how she creates her cool drawings, the artist shared, "I use Photoshop, normally start with a rough sketch, and then work in the local colors, adding lighting as I go." It takes her around 2-4 hours to finish a piece. "I'm constantly trying to push myself to do different things, so sometimes the trial and error take more time."
Below you can find some of the beautiful drawings by Yaoyao Ma Van As. These stories are inspired by events or experiences, by living together with your best friends, by ups and downs, and show the true beauty of selfless friendship. Take a look at these unique artworks, vote, and enjoy.

OMG... this reminds me of my dear Pino (who's now in doggy heaven). He always watched me like that whenever I got ready for work early in the morning, while my husband and our other dog, Maya, were still sleeping.

I have absolutely loved all of these pictures! So upbeat and loving. Despite accidents and messes all is well in this relationship between dog and woman. I have a very similar life with my little dog.

There's no way my dogs would be laying down if I was in the kitchen cooking. They'd be hoovering the floor and waiting for an oops.

Love this! There is so much detail in each one. The title sucks though, I mean cold heart? Nah. But that is irrelevant. The lighting and color is beautiful. Keep doing what you're doing. Lots of love<3
