Grandma, Dancing Under the Moonlight

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet a hand-drawn children's book illustration concept where a playful grandma and her granddaughter dance, read and stargaze through a moonlit night.

Grandma and her granddaughter dance in a beam of moonlight beneath a bare tree, point out the crescent moon from a lantern-lit balcony, read inside a fairy-lit tent among plush toys, and watch the moon shimmer on the lake with a dinosaur plush in the girl's arms. Deep indigo nights glow with lantern gold. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, nine expressions, action poses, five outfit variations, a granddaughter companion turnaround and a six-panel storyboard that ends with a promise to dance again.
