Teaching a machine to draw like me
I draw characters who grin with every tooth they have, flies with an unshakeable optimism, and patterns until the page begs for mercy. Now I’m trying to teach a machine to draw like me. Not like a famous painter: like me, clumsy bits included. Here is the whole adventure, step by step, with the misses (they’re the funniest).
