Do one very realistic drawing
Actually, I've done two... 2 years ago

From the time I wrote this goal to this day I’ve been learning here and there, and practicing A LOT. I also got this great book called “Secrets to drawing realistic faces” which was very helpful. I think the book (or books) which helped me the most were the Andrew Loomis ones.

It’s funny because it’s like suddenly you’re there, you can just draw it and yeah, right. I don’t mean in an arrogant way, but like walking step by step and eventually reaching your destination and thinking: “That wasn’t that hard at all.”

And you also realize there’s more out there to learn and more things you want to achieve. There are amazing artists out there and the internet is so useful in this regard.

Drawing is amazing. I’m setting up a blog in Spanish to help people out and share what I’ve learn and keep learning.

It’s a neverending trip and one worth following.

Learning and using Rails now 3 years ago

Just un update to say I’ve switched lanes to Rails (ha) and it’s way cool. You can do stuff so fast and so fun that it makes you, as they preach, so happy.



Ride my bike at least five times a month
Not five times... 3 years ago

Not five times but three, with my girlfriend, last month. It was really fun, both of us eager for the next time. Having a partner helps a lot, and her pace is perfect for me.
