Gerda

For Design Process 2, we're developing Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen into an animation. You can read the fairytale here. I designed the character of Gerda, who is the main character of the story, and a few environments which you may see in my post under this one.

I will continue keeping records of my progress with this project here.
