Children's Book Illustration

Bear, Gardener and Dreamer

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Bear, a hand-drawn children's book illustration concept following a gentle gardener through sunrise planting, fishing, autumn leaves and winter snow.

Bear waters a bright flower bed beside a yellow cottage as the sun comes up, fishes from a wooden jetty under a golden sky, rakes fallen leaves into a wheelbarrow in autumn, then carries pine branches home through deep snow in a red scarf. Each season is given its own saturated palette. The supporting sheets add bee and bird companion turnarounds, six clothing variations and a garden storyboard.
