My name is Ülker (but call me just Lyra) and I'm an illustrator based in Istanbul, Turkey. I work as a full-time child and adolescent psychiatrist. After work, I shapeshift into an artist!
There are three things I do to relax: drawing, cooking, and eating. So on the verge of an art block, I decided to challenge myself with character design. Combining two things I love the most seemed like a creative idea I'd have the most fun with. And I did!
Before starting with these drawing ideas, I had to do a little research about the specific food brands' or snack's origin, production process, and discovered so much more when people started commenting and telling me about their homeland's most popular food! Overall, this food art project was a very fun and sometimes mouth-watering experience (when searching for reference photos on Pinterest).
As a mental healthcare professional, I can't stress enough how important art is to our souls and minds. Your unique art doesn't have to be perfect - creating even the smallest thing that can make our day more meaningful.
I plan to add more cute characters to the collection, so if you're on a diet - beware!

Superb drawing skills and lots of attention to detail! This was very creative.
Thanks!!!
Awesome art work. Hope to see more.
Pretty cool, way better than I can draw anything. Not care for the sexualized imagery of some but that is only my point of view and not everyone's. This my favorite is the churro because it reminds me of actual Spain churros and not the c**p sold here in the USA.
But what here is even sexualized?
None of these were sexualized at all, the clothing is how manga artists would draw them, if you watch any anime and see the clothing it’s actually shorter than these. It’s also the drawing style of the artist. Also if you go to any GOOD authentic Mexican or Spanish restaurant (not Taco Bell) they sell AMAZING churros. Take it from me I live in America and have been in Spain. I recommend you try Los Machetes
