Today she's visited the blog to show some exclusive character pictures!
Have you fixed something that wasn’t broke? Written a story only to revise and then go back to the original? That’s exactly what I did to Sofia Becker, the main character in my MG Blogtastic! Novel series. For the first book, GOSSIP FROM THE GIRLS’ ROOM, I started off with a basic idea of what she would look like, but then I put her through a lot of changes only to use the very first image. My editor and designer told me the same thing, “We want the first Sofia.” Looking back, I can totally see why!
Graphic Evolution of Sofia Becker

Oh wow, that's really fun! I think I need to add this to my TBR list!!!
Fabulous! Rose is visiting my blog tomorrow and I can't wait!
Yes, I like the original too! So wonderful!
Man, I wish I could draw even HALF as well. It was so fun watching Sofia "grow up".
This book and the illustrations are adorable. I've been meaning to get it and will do so on Friday. Picking up a copy for my niece and me to share.
Hope Rose is having fun on her tour!
I love Rose and I love Soph! I especially like how Rose's drawings have just a touch of darkness to them.
You are too sweet in how much you support other bloggers!!!
Thanks for being a part of this, Jen!
Thank you everyone for readings!
Alex-Having a blast!
Matthew-You're the sweetest!
So cute!
Love the original! Can't wait for the next one!
I love the one they went with but all are adorable. The one with pigtails who's also holding a finger to her mouth is so cute!
cute! i will add that to my "boosk to read when this semester finally dies" list. i wish i could draw. at all. except stick figures, i draw an excellent stick figure.
Very cool! I like seeing the evolution of characters. Her book sounds fun!
Yes! I love Rose Cooper!! :-)
I'm loving this blog tour! Thanks to Rose and Jen :)
The artwork is just amazing - so fun!
I love seeing original designs for something. The final is much better, but it is just fascinating. I remember being just floored as a kid when someone showed me how garfield was originally drawn.
If it's not broke don't fix it. A philosophy I wish I could adhere to!
That is a very cute Character there. I'm glad you went back to the original.
Rose is for Rose Cooper - love it.
Not only did I love her book, but I just bought a print on Etsy. My daughter is going to play the Chesire Hat in a talent show, so I got her Alice holding the cat.
Love Rose Cooper's illustrations. I have the book, I just need to get home and read it!
I didn't know she was having a blog tour. GOOD LUCK, ROSE!
Love the drawings! She looks like a terrific characater! :)
Great drawings! I loved them.
i love that no matter what, *she has a big head*
Good luck to Rose! I can't wait to get my grubby hands on her book!
Fun graphics. I also like the first one best.
