Lila, The Kind-Hearted Princess and the Frog

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Lila, a hand-drawn children's book illustration concept in pale blue, following a kind princess who befriends a frog and cares for the birds of the garden.

Lila cups a small frog at a mossy fountain in a shaded glade, leans from a balustrade to watch a blue castle across the valley, reads by a leaded window with candlelight on the pages, then sits on flower-lined steps as birds gather at her feet. The palette stays in pale blue and lilac throughout. The supporting sheets add a frog companion turnaround, nine expressions, five gowns and a six-panel storyboard about kindness returned.
