Everyone knows a princess cat or a marquis pig. But a knight camel, a viscount armadillo, or a duchess jaguar? The full list of those honoured by our beloved King Lion is all right there in the royal little poems.
Poeminhas Reais is a children's book that playfully pairs animal traits with noble titles.
Artwork
The Knight, the Baronet and the Baron:
The Viscount, the Count and the Marquis:
The Duchess, the Archduke, the Princess and the King:
Single drawing
For this book I chose to create a single drawing made up of several scenes linked in sequence. Each little poem would be illustrated by one of those scenes — a portion of the larger artwork.
Visual style
With the rough in place, further studies were done to define the visual style for the final artwork.
Once the visual style was decided, the illustrations were taken to final artwork.
Collection design
Beyond illustrating this title, I also did the layout for the other books and created the overall book design for the "Poeminhas" series.
Brand development
At the same time I also designed the "Corujinha Editora" logo, which became the Editora Coruja imprint for children's literature.
Thanks for taking a look at my work!
