About

I’m Elena Sedova, a professional artist and illustrator with over 15 years of experience in art, design, and animation. I merge traditional techniques with modern digital tools to create expressive illustrations, engaging characters, and distinctive visual solutions. My portfolio includes dozens of illustrated books, advertising and magazine projects, animation work, websites, and game graphics.

I love collaborating with editors, brands, and teams to bring ideas to life—from concept to delivery. I’m comfortable leading projects, mentoring designers, and delivering high-quality visuals that connect with audiences.

We started this project with just three broad concepts — and step by step, it evolved into a story. Together with the author, we decided that a young boy in the image of little Mozart perfectly reflects the spirit of the book: small, joyful violin pieces for young musicians who are just beginning their journey. The goal was to blend classical aesthetics with a playful, storybook charm — making learning feel like an adventure. The cheerful woodpecker adds a touch of humor and rhythm, echoing the “staccato” theme in a visual way. 😊 Role: Concept & Illustration 🤗 Tools: Procreate & Photoshop 😅 Mood: Whimsical, warm, and full of musical energy Creating this artwork was pure joy — it’s one of those projects that remind me how illustration can make even music theory come alive.
