Have you ever watched an animated movie and wondered how they created those characters? What's going on behind the scenes? It's the same with children's books. How many Snoopy's were there before there was the Snoopy we know and love.

Now you get to see the process from the very beginning, as Julia starts sketching the hero for our new children's book, Roadrunner Rikke.

But first, we'll talk about the thought, research, and brainstorming that happened long before pencil hit the paper.

We won't get done tonight, as it can take many iterations before a final character is decided on, but you'll see the process and get to see some of the early drawings and ideas that are going to bring the story to life.
