Frustrating...

I just can't get "hand quality" on the computer yet, I know it is possible because there are guys like Brian Bolland who can do it, but for some reason my lines are jumpy on photoshop... And it is rather frustrating to be honest. I guess I will have to go back to the traditional way of inking, it's just that I was excited about being one of the few "digital inkers" out there... on the mean time I will get my hands on the proper tools to do it on paper, and still work digitally to master that technique... I am getting so wonder if it has something to do with the OS... I just drew some lines on a Macintosh and they were so much better!. It was with another wacom, so I will try with mine on a mac and see the difference... if there is one, then that would be for me, finally, the argument to end the discussion regarding which is better... he he he... at least for design. (let's not talk about gaming).

Yesterday sucked... my back didn't really let me get a lot of work done... still I was able to advance a good deal, and I learned a lot about inking... hair is a big issue, and there are hundreds of different ways to "render" it... I will need to find my self a good technique.

On the other hand I had a nice conversation with Claudia, a friend with whom I used to talk a lot, and yesterday we had a little of catching up. I told her about the girl I dated on december, and then I realized something. This blog begun because of a woman, and it prettu much explains my relationship with her (abby), then it narrates everything dealing my second girlfriend (tanya), but it doesn't mention Sara at all... which is kind of unfair to her, or at least, to that experience in my life. I just happened while I was not writting on this blog, but still... I feel like I should write something about her.

We and sara met a while ago, but at the time she had a boyfriend and I kind of still had one, it was until the end of 2003 that she decided to contact me and invite me out, he he he. We went to "la paloma", and had a pretty good talk, I was amazed in how much things we had in common!!... and on that 1st date we kissed... he he he... it was fun, because at a point she said "when are you going to stop talking and give me a kiss?", and I reacted like the most shy guy ever, of course I didn't kiss her then, and it made the whole experience mucho more amuzing. Anyway, we started dating officially that day. For the 1st time in my life I did something without thinking about it, just because it felt good. (And I think she was doing the same thing).

The relationship only lasted for a little over two weeks, it wasn't working for several reasons, but the most important one was that we each had to deal we some stuff in ourlives... they were problems between us two, they were just issues in each of us. So we ended it for good, and in a cool way. Nowadays I consider her a good friend, and I think she sees me the same way... he he he... As it started it ended, it was fast, but for the little that it lasted I think we both learned a whole lot of things... because of that I thank her, and because of that I feel it's fair to have written this, on this blog, that has kept good record of all the women in my life.

He he he... now back to work...

** cheers
