Stories Make Everything Better

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Explore a hand-drawn cosy picture book illustration concept where rainy days bring two cats, poured tea, autumn walks and stories before sleep.

The girl reads on a mustard sofa while a black cat perches behind her and an orange cat waits below, pours tea as the black cat watches from the counter, walks an autumn park path with a warm drink and the cat at her heels, and ends beneath fairy lights reading in bed. Deep teals and marigold golds set the mood. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, nine expressions, dynamic poses, seven outfit variations, cat interactions and a six-panel storyboard from a cozy rainy evening to stories making everything better.
