Children's Book Illustration

Meira, The Sunlit Explorer

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Meira, The Sunlit Explorer, a hand-drawn children's book illustration concept of dragonfly chases, paper boats and wildflower picnics in golden light.

Meira greets a dragonfly in a sunlit wood, launches pink and yellow paper boats on a stream, reads on a picnic blanket beside a white rabbit, and lifts an amber flask at a wooden table of jars and pressed flowers. Golden light and fresh greens colour every scene. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, expressions, five action poses, six outfit variations, companions Lumo the bunny, Pip the bird and her best friend Evan, and a six-panel storyboard of a day that ends at sunset.
