EmaStudios Update 14/9/08

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

-Michelangelo

Lately I’m pushing hard myself. I’m working out regularly as you people know to lose some “15 years Christmas weight”, we just closed a deal with the excellent guys at BeenVerified to work on their visual design (we couldn’t wait anymore, we worked in a couple of things together and those guys are wonderful), the studio is growing really fast and the people working with us is fantastic; the best of the best out there. We have a really good luck this quarter, the projects we are working are amazing, fun and interesting.

And, to add a bit more of complexity to the equation, since a couple of weeks, I’m learning how to play classic guitar. Funny, it is easier than it looks and much more simpler than I though it was going to be. People always say it’s hard, but if you put your hearth and mind in it, believe me, it’s easy as using hotmail (just kidding.)

Today, I want to announce, I will be learning a new skill that will probably have an important impact in my design skill over time. I’m learning how to do illustrations and concept arts. My brother is one of the top artists right now in Buenos Aires (http://www.carloscabrera.com.ar), and I love his work. Since we where kids, I had the ability to draw, to illustrate. I was pretty good for a lad of my age back then, but with time, I never worked out those skills and they fade to almost nothing. I want that back. I want to be able to do digital paintings, concept art, etc. It will be of a great help in my current line of work. I know how to do it, but I just never put time into it until now. With time I will learn this new skill, it will be pretty fast for me to do so, it’s on the family.

What skill did you ever wanted to learn and for one or other reason you never did? and what are you going to do about it?

Let me know!
