Dwelling in art is what Ykha Amelz all about. Pencil and paper are all she always needs because her interest has always been for illustration that's based on lines and figures. Having to work with renowned magazines including Elle, Nylon and Harper's Bazaar, for the love of Art School, she contributed a few drawings of lovely dogs specially sketched for Cotton Ink's new collection. Thanks a lot, Ykha! xx

“A drawing goes out electric if you really experience and put emotion into it. I wanted people to know that they can feel different kinds of emotion just by looking at the lines and colors. To feel something makes you feel alive.”
