Children's Book Illustration

Soren, A Gentle and Joyful Little Lion

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Soren, a hand-drawn children's book illustration concept of a joyful lion cub's savanna sunrises, waterfall splashes and moonlit leaf-bed dreams.

Soren rests smiling on a mossy rock deep in the leaves, sits proudly on a stone as the savanna sun rises behind the acacia trees, splashes happily in a waterfall pool, and sleeps curled on giant leaves beneath the moon and fireflies. Golden mane fluff glows in every scene. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, seven expressions, six labelled poses, six outfits and accessories from explorer hat to bedtime blanket, friend panels with butterfly, bird, squirrel and rabbit, and a six-panel story-moments board.
