Four stitched-texture night scenes of a long-haired girl in a mustard dress: sleeping on a crescent moon, having rooftop tea beside a black cat, carrying a lantern through a firefly garden, and journalling by a window. — Finished artwork: a quilted night, from crescent-moon sleep to bedside journal.

A Warm Drink and a Wish

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Explore a hand-drawn bedtime illustration concept stitched in indigo and gold: a crescent-moon sleep, rooftop tea with a black cat and lantern-lit wishes.

The girl sleeps curled on a crescent moon among embroidered clouds, shares rooftop tea with a black cat beside a star lantern, lifts her lantern through a garden of fireflies and daisies, and writes in her journal at a desk beneath the window's crescent moon. Deep indigo and thread-gold texture every scene like a quilt. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, nine expressions, action poses, six outfit variations, black cat, bunny and teddy companions, a personality card and a six-panel bedtime storyboard.
