I’m a Software Developer from Mexico. I love music, movies, drawing and learning languages. I will post a little bit of everything here.

Spanish: native.
English: C1.
French: B1.
Japanese: beginner.
So, Instagram just blocked my account for no reason. I guess it’s time to say goodbye to that social network as well… 🤷‍♂️

Day 8 | #100DaysOfDrawing

Last drawing class of the year. Now we’re on holiday; we’ll be back in January. 😊

This is my drawing of the Nikon camera so far. Not a big update, but there are a lot of details on the upper controls. :P

I’ll continue with the other drawing while on holiday from class.

Day 7 | #100DaysOfDrawing

Today I continued with the sketch of this famous person we bumped into in Nakano Broadway a few years ago.

I think it is quite obvious who he is now. 🤔 Unless my drawing is too awful. 😅

Day 5 | #100DaysOfDrawing

Today I continued reading the book “Drawing on the right side of the brain”. Then I continued working on the sketch of this famous person my girlfriend and I met on our last trip to Japan. Can you guess who this person is with this update?

Hint: he is from my hometown. :D

Day 3 | #100DaysOfCode

Finally, I was able to continue with this project. I finished defining the general layout and content of the website. I plan to have it deployed before the end of the year, so I’ll start working on it right away.

I’m also preparing some content for the social networks.

Today, I started a quick sketch of a (famous) person we stumbled upon on our last trip to Japan.

Can you guess who this person is with what I’ve drawn so far? 🤔

Day 3 | #100DaysOfDrawing

(I know these challenges should be done everyday, but it’s kind of hard to find the time between work and other everyday tasks 😅)

Today I had my drawing class! 😀 I’m currently working on a drawing of a Nikon camera there. Here’s an update of my drawing from last class. 😊

Day 2 | #100DaysOfCode

I continued defining the content and general layout of the website for the project I’m building.

I also started reading “Understanding Distributed Systems” by Roberto Vitillo. I definitely need to dive deeper into Distributed Systems for this one!

Day 2 | #100DaysOfLanguageLearning

It mas mostly a cultural day: I read a bit about Japanese periods and history. I’m curious about it, so, I’ll try to keep reading about it.

I also practiced a bit of kanji (only 私、一、二、三 😅).

Last but not least, today I formally started working on the website of a new project I’m building.

I’ll use the #100DaysOfCode challenge to keep track of my progress in this project. It’ll be ready very soon!

Day 1. I worked on defining the content of the website.

I finally resumed my Japanese learning today, as well.

I’ll start taking Japanese classes again next January, so, I’ll warm up by starting the #100DaysOfLanguageLearning as well!

Day 1. I started by reviewing the basics: あんさつときょうしつのことば。Also started reading みんなの日本語と私の日本語。

I love to draw, but it’s hard to do it these days.

I started taking drawing lessons a year ago, but it feels like it’s not enough. So, today I started the #100DaysOfDrawing challenge!

Day 1. I started with some theory: reading “Drawing on the right side of the brain” (en español) by Betty Edwards.

I definitely have to re-watch “May”. That’s a personal favourite! Anyway, here are my #LastFourWatched. I especially loved “Kimetsu No Yaiba” and “Depeche Mode: M”, but I enjoyed all four!

Happy #LetterboxdFriday, everyone!

Last week I traveled to Orlando, FL, for the first time. It was a great trip!

As a Harry Potter fan, I really enjoyed going to Universal Studios an spending almost all day on the HP area. 😂😅

Have you been there too?
