Lily, Little Heart and Big Wonders, and the Flower Friend

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet a hand-drawn garden fairy illustration concept in which Lily waters a tiny seed through rain and rainbow until it blooms into her new flower friend.

Lily reaches for a butterfly in a golden meadow, reads on a leaf seat beneath a hanging lantern and pink bellflowers, waters seedlings as a rainbow crosses the rain, and carries her lantern through a firefly-lit night garden. Warm oranges and soft botanical greens carry the palette. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, eight expressions, six action poses, six outfit variations, bunny and snail interactions and a six-panel storyboard in which a watered seed blooms into a flower friend.
