Kusube's style, especially outside the TCG is purposefully aimed at younger audiences, where characters are drawn simply and have a limited color palette. Her personal work however demonstrates her eye for detail, using a myriad of various charcoal pencil strokes and marks to define outlines and areas of shadow. The majority of this work remains black and white. This particular method is applied to her TCG artwork, many of which incorporate a solid drawing with only a few key colors accompanied with many penciled hatches or dots to define shadow. For a list of cards she has illustrated, go [[:Category:Illus. by Aya Kusube|here]]. | Kusube's style, especially outside the TCG, is purposefully aimed at younger audiences, where characters are drawn simply and have a limited color palette.
