Pavleta Likomanov

Hi there, I’m Eti—a freelance illustrator who loves bright colors and whimsical characters.

Since I was a little kid, I knew I’d be an artist one day, and I’m incredibly grateful to pursue children’s book illustration as a career.

My artworks can be described as whimsical, vivid, warm, and joyful digital illustrations; however, I also maintain an analog sketchbook where I experiment with textures and mediums daily.

Childhood memories, treasured like gemstones, are my biggest source of inspiration. Nature, folk tales, and fantastical stories often find their way into my work. With a background in illustration and art history, I find storytelling exciting.

I’m always open to exciting projects, collaborations, or commissions—feel free to get in touch at eti.illustrates[at]gmail.com.
