Children's Book Illustration

Lily Bloom, A Tiny Dreamer with Big Ideas

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Lily Bloom, a hand-drawn children's book illustration concept of greenhouse flowers, pressed-petal crafts, botany books and one very fluffy cat.

Lily Bloom sketches at a desk stacked with botany and garden-story books, waters a greenhouse bursting with tulips and daisies beneath a Bloom Grow Dream sign, arranges a pressed-flower collage on the floor, and cuddles Whiskers the cat under a pink blanket at night. Soft creams, terracottas and leafy greens carry the mood. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, expressions, action poses labelled from reading to arranging books, outfit variations, Whiskers studies and a six-panel storyboard from a quiet morning to dreaming of tomorrow.
