Tazira, A Curious Dreamer of Little Adventures

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Meet Tazira, a hand-drawn textured-gouache illustration concept of garden planting, picnic stories and little adventures with a blue cat and rabbits.

Tazira reads on a rock while a blue cat, two white rabbits and songbirds gather round, plants a seedling with her trowel and flowery watering can, shares cookies on a picnic blanket, and sketches at her desk as a red bird lands on the sunset windowsill. Flat gouache textures glow in pumpkin, teal and cream. The supporting sheets add turnarounds, nine expressions, action poses with magnifying glass, six outfit variations, golden retriever and snail companions, little-moment vignettes and a six-panel seed-to-flower storyboard.
