Sketched faces from tonight’s Write to the End<\/a> session. No comparison photos, because my fellow writers deserve their privacy (especially since I used a screen shot which caught one of them in a scowl and the other while speaking), but I know enough to rate this as “meh”. The face above expands the hair and squashes the lower face – same mistake from Spock yesterday, so it wasn’t just head tilt – and a little of that’s going on with the face below, though the biggest problem there is the mouth is too narrow.<\/p>\n The ultimate goal of these drawings is to rekindle my love of my art and to sharpen my abilities to the point where I can once again resume f@nu fiku<\/a>, finish my science fiction comic projects, and move on to other comic ideas I have scattered through my notebooks.<\/p>\n My inspiration for this project comes from a young psychology student who took a drawing class just as he was about to graduate, and, inspired, put off medical school with a crash course to break in to the comics field in just one year<\/a>. He succeeded, and his name is Jim Lee, now Publisher of DC Comics.<\/p>\n I don’t expect success in a year – I have a day job and a novel-writing career, not to mention a family – nor do I want to be Jim Lee. But I do want to be Anthony Francis. And Anthony Francis, by day, builds intelligent machines and emotional robots, and by night writes science fiction and draws comic books.<\/p>\n I’ve built intelligent machines<\/a>. I’ve worked on emotional robots<\/a>. I’ve written and published science fiction<\/a>. But the comic books, other than my short stint on f@nu fiku, have eluded me. Connecting thoughts and images is a huge part of my creative expression, yet I seem to have let it fall by the wayside.<\/p>\n But I’m bringing it back by drawing every day.<\/p>\n -the Centaur<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sketched faces from tonight’s Write to the End session.
