Okay, I know the title is a bit exaggerated but please bear with me. There were a lot of problems my workplace encountered today, from brown-outs to network connecting issues. Those circumstances gave me a lot free time and I doodled on my traditional notebook (I may scan the drawing later), and even draw using Wayne’s Wacom. After a while, the network connecting issues were solved and I got back to my real work, leaving this poor drawing unfinished. My drawing lines are still very messy, but at least I’m more comfortable in using tablets for drawing now, just in time for my upcoming Wacom!
On the fourth of December 2009, I bought a new computer from the money I earned. It feels great to be able to buy something by working hard for it. My baby monster has been born. Although he (yes, my computer has a name) may not be the most powerful computer out there, I can say that I’m very, very proud of him.
Now, I do see everything while working on design mock-ups at home, compared to my old computer where the workarea in Photoshop is only about half the the size of the monitor. Yup, I’ve upgraded from a 1024×768 resolution to a whooping 1,920 x 1,080. I don’t get frustrated using the computer anymore, since from a Pentium 4, I’m now running a Quad-core with 4GB RAM.
Now, I can do some artsy stuff again with my computer, create wallpapers, artworks, free web layouts and hopefully to have a portfolio up soon.
P.S. My old computer was given fully to my brother. Now, he is also enjoying having that computer all for himself. He seems a bit shy on using mine, even though I gave him permission.
As promised, I scanned my drawing featured in my previous post. Hope this gives a better view on the details. Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
