About Me
Hi, I’m Anastasia!
I’m an illustrator, comic artist, and creator of cute book illustrations. In my work, I aim to create a friendly and cozy atmosphere, paying close attention to cute and playful details that are fun to explore. I also strive to maintain my own distinctive artistic style, giving my work a hand-drawn feel. I create illustrations for books, book covers, and comics, as well as design merchandise.It’s important to me that my illustrations are visually engaging, evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, and allow viewers to briefly immerse themselves in the worlds I create.
What I Do
→ 2D Illustration → Character Design → Children’s Book Illustration & Book Covers → Comics & Visual StorytellingThe Snow Queen
A series of children’s book illustrations inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, The Snow Queen.
As a child, I always envisioned the Snow Queen as a cold character defined by sharp, angular shapes, and I wanted to give this familiar image a new interpretation.
My Goals
My goal was to reimagine the traditionally cold atmosphere of the fairy tale, focusing on bright and uplifting elements while giving familiar characters a fresh look.
My Approach & Results
First of all, I reimagined the Snow Queen herself. In my style, she became soft and graceful, almost transparent, imbued with numerous botanical elements. I also incorporated patterns, flowers, and vibrant colors into many of the illustrations, cultivating a sense of hope and warmth.
A Sweet Story
A series of large-format, detailed illustrations connected by a shared story and theme.
With this project, I wanted to share something that I personally find interesting and meaningful.
My Goals
I wanted to create a heartwarming story about family and togetherness, telling it through sweets that are popular and well-known in my country.
My Approach & Results
I chose a warm color palette that could remind viewers of their own homes. I also researched the designs of real sweets and tried to make them recognizable, so that viewers could experience a sense of nostalgia.
Conversations in a Terrarium
Illustrations for a children’s alphabet book inspired by small terrariums inhabited by reptiles and amphibians. Through dialogues and short comic-style scenes, readers discover new words associated with each letter of the alphabet.
My Goals
I know that many people are afraid of reptiles, while others find them unpleasant. I wanted to show these animals from a different perspective, combining vocabulary learning with the discovery of unusual creatures.
My Approach & Results
I chose a pastel color palette and created cute and playful characters who gradually become more familiar and endearing to the reader as the story unfolds. After all, we don’t observe them behind glass—instead, it feels as though we are right inside the terrarium with them.
Why My Style Stands Out
It is important to me to preserve the feeling of hand-drawn artwork and make it feel more personal and approachable to the viewer. I choose soft and pleasing colors that evoke positive emotions and bring joy. I want viewers to have a pleasant experience when looking at my work, and for my illustrations and characters to leave them with a fond memory of something cute and playful.
