Noura, Nature and Little Adventures

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Noura, a hand-drawn forest illustration concept of mushroom paths, leaf umbrellas, snail friendships and the best discoveries being tiny ones.

Noura follows a mossy path between red-capped mushrooms, crouches to greet a snail as tall as her knees, stands in the rain beneath a broad leaf umbrella, and sits on a stump holding a flower where a ladybird has landed. Deep forest greens make her yellow raincoat glow. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, twelve expressions, dynamic poses, six outfit variations, golden retriever, rabbit and snail companions, little-moment vignettes and a six-panel storyboard about recording tiny discoveries.
