Geta Belogolovsky

Geta Belogolovsky – Designer

10Y+ in visual storytelling. I create cosy worlds as a character artist, illustrator, comics artist, book designer. Let's dream it together!

Overview

Hi, folks! Nice to see you here!

WHO AM I?

I am an academically trained artist-generalist who has a deep and forever-lasting passion for children's tales, verses, comics, and all kinds of storytelling. I can fit into most art styles according to a text and project's needs with adding irresistible attractiveness, which is proven by awards and high ratings for my books. Three of them are also long-lasting bestsellers in Russia - one of the world's biggest kidlit markets. I've gained impressive experience working with Publishing Houses overseas, such as MacMillan, Egmont Group, Walt Disney Company CIS, and others. Over the years, I've come to a deep understanding of every step of book production and publishing as an artist as well as a technologist. I left Russia because of my irreconcilable beliefs of pacifism and humanism, and currently aim to find my new audience in Canada.

WHY ME?

- Strong skill in volumes, composition, color theory

- Great sense of CUTENESS, HUMOUR and EMOTIONS

- I’m able to work in a really wide range of styles and moods

- I stay creative and productive in time shortages and under pressure

- Deep understanding of human/animal anatomy, mimics, psychology

- Strong self-management skills and ability to meet deadlines

- Broad outlook in various areas of world science, history, and culture

- I’m good at teamwork and brain-storming

- I’m friendly, easy-going, responsible, and truly(!) OK with criticism

- I’m a perfectionist, researcher, and enthusiast (and also a big child)

- I am very attentive to the author's text and the editor's suggestions

WHY YOU?

I hope it's because of your and my good fate :) Also because you need to have the warmest and most impressive art you've ever imagined. Or, maybe it will be the funniest one? Feel free to let me see what we can create together for our best experience and result! And people will love it!

Work experience

Riki Group

Jan, 2019 — Apr, 2024 (about 5 years)
In addition to book illustration, I work as a character and background designer at the Riki Group - the largest animation studio in Eastern Europe. I have worked on three big animated series as an illustrator, character designer and concept artist. I love this time and the team I was lucky to work with as one of the best and most creative in my life.

"Murzilka" magazine

Jan, 2018 — Apr, 2025 (about 7 years)
As a leading illustrator, I am proud to be part of the team of the oldest children's magazine in the world, "Murzilka". I create interior illustrations for poems and stories, draw comics, and regularly make illustrations for the magazine's cover. I was chosen to be the author of the cover for the centenary issue, of the magazine, which was included in the Guinness Book of Records.

Self-employed

Jan, 2008 — Present
I am a versatile illustrator who can offer the clients a full cycle of work: - I determine what visual design is in tune with their text. I consider this a critical stage and I really care. I offer the client a choice of several styles that will be most attractive to the potential audience of their book. - Next, I develop the book's composition, suggest the number of pages suitable for this text, and create several versions of characters. - I select typography, make a full layout of the book and - create illustrations with love and diligence. - For the book design, I create a unique title with the help of a handwritten or computer font, create a cover design using an original illustration or using an internal illustration. - Additionally, I can prepare the book's formatting or adapt it for digital platforms.
