Roselle, A Curious Heart Grows the Most Beautiful Things

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Roselle, a hand-drawn garden illustration concept where giant tulips, flower crowns and a loyal spotted pup turn ordinary days into adventures.

Roselle stands among tulips taller than she is, kneels to water a patch of seedlings while her white spotted pup watches, threads a flower crown beside her pressed-flower journal, and walks the blossom path with a basket as the pup trots ahead. Everything blooms in rose pinks and corals. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, eight expressions, action poses, five outfit variations, a Piper companion turnaround, best-friend vignettes, favourite things and a six-panel sprout-to-bloom storyboard.
