Yzma from Disney's "The Emperor's New Groove" smiling and looking up. Illustration by L.C. Ireland.

Disney’s “The Emperor’s New Groove” is among my top three favorite movies of all times. It’s just so funny and fresh and clever! It’s one of the few movies that I can quote line-for-line. Yzma is a star. Her character design is so striking. Eartha Kitt’s voice is pure perfection. I always cackle with delight when she’s on the screen. Once I started my Disney Villains series, she was added to the top of the to-do list. She was surprisingly hard to draw! It took a lot of practice to get the many angles of her skeletal body just right. But I am so proud of the final look!

    Her hip bones absolutely kill me. 😂 “What is holding this woman together?” I love the pattern you picked for the background!

      I know! I was like, “this can’t be right. This is not how human bodies work.” But Yzma defies reality and we love her for it.
