Children's Book Illustration

Plan for a Happy Day

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Explore a hand-drawn children's book illustration concept of happy-day plans, kind words and a white kitten, told through cosy journal pages and lamplight.

At a sunset desk the girl writes a to-do list that includes be happy and love yourself, reads Little Stories of Hope by a rainy window while the kitten sleeps, plans a happy day in a morning journal, and closes a gratitude page under fairy lights and a glowing star lamp. Pink lamplight, sticky-note encouragements and heart-marked mugs fill each scene. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, nine expressions, action poses, five outfit variations, studies with Mochi and Teddy and a six-panel storyboard from new plan to proud of my progress.
