只在夜里开门的刺猬面包师

A watercolour character design sheet for a children's picture book, painted on warm white cold-press paper, landscape format. The original character is Mrs. Fennel, an elderly hedgehog who runs a bakery that only opens at night: round spectacles, a flour-dusted blue apron over a knitted cardigan, soft brown spines. Across the top, three full-body views: front, side and back. Below, four small head studies of her expressions: sleepy, proud, flustered and laughing. To the right, small studies of her props: a wooden peel with a round loaf, a brass bell and an oil lamp. Small pencil notes in handwriting beside the views: "front", "side", "back", "sleepy", "proud", "flustered", "laughing". Loose watercolour washes over soft pencil underdrawing, palette of warm brown, cornflower blue, cream and lamplight yellow.
