When it comes to cutting it as a successful illustrator in such a competitive, talented and progressively innovative creative field, developing a distinctive style is paramount. Luckily for us and also pretty luckily for him, Japanese artist Yosuke Yamaguchi hits the nail on the head, standing out from the crowd with his delicate and intricately detailed illustrations. With his illustrations ranging from dreamy ghost-like figures to elongated cats upon a beautiful backdrops, it seems that he is pretty good when it comes to diversity too, and with his beautiful use of colour and impressive steady hand, I dare you not to be wowed.
