Now that’s<\/em> more like it. Another exercise in making a face look like a face, except this time I was not using a real person as a reference, but older drawings of one of my own characters, centauress explorer Porsche Kirkpatrick-Saint George, from yesterday’s entry. Here’s a couple zoomed in shots:<\/p>\n Differences in the new version: slightly narrower face to better fit what I currently understand about human proportions; slightly wider nose, because she’s a frigging centaur<\/em> and needs to breathe; slightly thicker neck, because even at 22-23 here she’s supposed to be an exceptional martial artist (and lives in 1.7 gravities). Otherwise, I tried to abstract the older proportions and recreate the same person.<\/p>\n I think I got close, but my faces are still not yet stable. I see I still have the same problem with the “errant pen” occasionally jerking and messing up my lines; I also see I could be making her giant mass of hair more dimensional and less flattened to two planes (though I note my time-traveling action archaeologist and her space hair predates River Song by quite a bit, even if Stephen Moffat beat me to the screen).<\/p>\n Lots of work to do, clearly. Took me two hours. Need to do that in half or a third the time. Still …<\/p>\n … drawing every day.<\/p>\n -the Centaur<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now that’s more like it.
