Four sepia-autumn scenes of Maribelle, a curly-haired reader in glasses and plaid scarf: reading on a park bench, walking past a librairie, reading in a cafe, and sitting in maple leaves holding one leaf. — Finished artwork: Maribelle's autumn pages, from bench to bandstand leaves.

Maribelle, Every Page Holds a New Beginning

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Maribelle, a hand-drawn autumn illustration concept of bookshop strolls, cafe reading, leaf-drift daydreams and pages that begin new adventures.

Maribelle reads on a park bench with coffee beside her heart-charm satchel, wanders past the librairie's glowing windows on wet cobbles, turns pages at a cafe table chalked with the and chocolat, and rests in a drift of maple leaves near the bandstand. Curly buns, plaid and warm ink browns define the look. The supporting sheets add an identity card, turnarounds, twelve expressions, action poses with a book-basket bicycle, six outfit variations, bird and cat companion moments and a day-with-Maribelle storyboard.
