Twelve Days of Christmas

Children’s Book · 2023
A festive reinterpretation of the classic carol with bold, graphic charm

About the Project

 

A festive reinterpretation of the classic Christmas carol, this illustrated book explores each verse with playful, modern visuals tailored for a young audience. The goal was to retain the charm of traditional imagery while refreshing it with stylized characters, vivid forms, and a sense of graphic clarity.

Visual Approach

  • Simplified, bold compositions inspired by vintage children’s books

  • Limited color palette to evoke seasonal warmth and rhythm

  • Stylized animals and objects in decorative, traditional manner

Format & Process

  • Illustrated as page-by-page spreads (both single and double-page)

  • Hand-drawn digitally with emphasis on flat, decorative aesthetics

  • Created using Procreate
     

Next Steps

This is a self-initiated project, and I’m currently looking for publishing opportunities or agency collaboration to bring it to print.
