A few years ago I wrote a post on my old blog about the value of drawing your characters before writing your novel (and then another post where I broke out the pencil crayons). In short, it’s a process that get’s me to empathise with the characters and slip into their world, at least a little bit.

Well, I’ve gone back to a few of the images I drew before writing Feral Space and uploaded them to FaceApp (Yes! That works! Or can work). I’m no great artist but I’m pretty happy with the results…

I’ll have to use FaceApp for the next book I do. It’s good for just adding a background and extra light sources, not to mention cleaning up the actual face.
