Roselle, Little Adventures with Feathered Friends

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Roselle, a hand-drawn spring illustration concept of cherry blossoms, meadow walks, daisy crowns and a swallow who never leaves her side.

A swallow lands on Roselle's hand beneath a blossoming cherry tree, keeps pace as she strides the lakeside meadow, watches her weave a daisy chain, and swoops back to her open arms under the petals. Blossom pinks, spring greens and her yellow headband brighten every frame. The supporting sheets add an identity card with birthday and height, turnarounds, twelve expressions, seven action poses, six outfit variations, favourite things and a six-panel day-in-her-life storyboard.
