Children's Book Illustration

Elowen, A Book-Loving Meadow Girl

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Elowen, a hand-drawn children's book illustration concept following a book-loving meadow girl through wildflowers, sketching and quiet reading.

Elowen reads cross-legged beneath a spreading tree, walks barefoot through a field of wildflowers holding her book, sketches among the daisies, then lies in the grass with the pages open before her. Sunlight and scattered blooms fill every frame. The supporting sheets add her companions Willow the rabbit, Petal the bird and Milo the kitten, seven expressions, six outfits and a day-long storyboard.
