The Progress of Frances the Gnome

Driving to work one day my second book idea came into my head, Frances and her Password Journey. I wrote the story and as I was writing the story each page I broke down and already had ideas of how I wanted the page to look. The book was coming together in my head so fast, it was crazy.

To say the least Frances was difficult to draw and how to make her come to life. Let's look at how she progressed over the time when I first drew her to when I decided to publish the book. I did have the help from my students, they were very truthful on what they liked and did not like about my character.
