Children's Book Illustration

We Watch the Snow Sparkle Together

Created by HMD Publishing Illustration Studio

Explore a hand-drawn bedtime illustration concept of armchair stories, star-shaped cookies and snowy windows shared between generations.

In the finished scenes she reads in a red armchair while a boy in star pyjamas dozes against her, rolls cookie dough for star-shaped treats in the night kitchen, watches lamplit snowfall with him from the window seat, and tucks him in beneath a star quilt. Violet dusk and lamp gold warm every frame. The supporting sheets add turnarounds in her teal robe, nine expressions, action poses, six outfit variations from gardening apron to festive dress, panels with a little girl in yellow and a storyboard called A Night of Wonder.
