Sketching on sketchbook pro for android. Using the HTC EVO view tablet by sprint and the htc scribe pen. Pen has ntrig technology giving the ability to have full pressure sensitivity on sketchbook pro.
So far the htc evo view is a fantastic, 7 inch tablet that works very well for sketches on the go.
I am using the glove to avoid stray lines when working with sketchbook pro. Sketchbook does not have palm rejection as I use the zoom in and out feature a lot drawing in a tiny screen. So I cut the fingers off a cotton glove to be able to rest my palm and still use my fingers when I need it.
If you have any questions just ask. The htc evo view is very much like the htc flyer but branded by sprint and has the ability of 4G.

Facebook is just for family and close friends ;).
As a travel year it was amazing, but traveling is what I really live for :D and art. Went back to Colombia to visit family, and ended up going to Europe and hit places like Holland,Germany, France and many more. That trip was simply amazing and exhausting. I saw so much, ate so much and walked until my feet were bleeding (usually means epic vacation).
I have grown distant with people as of late well not everyone but many I used to hang out with. Being busy does not help that so I apologize if I am not always around. Been trying to alter my schedule a bit so I can fit work at a better time and having fun with people. I will try a bit harder for next year as there is a lot to fix. Need to alter some work stuff too, I want to make sure people are even more informed of what is going on to avoid filling my email inbox with questions.
Been a year of change, a year of growth all around. I did something that I never thought I would do, cosmetic but different, I stretched my ears a bit as I now wear a size 2G ear ring instead of the typical stud I had before. I was so upset how much I was getting allergic reactions to pretty much everything ear ring related that I stopped wearing them (plus most styles bored me). Then I really liked the mod scene where people were stretching their ears, not huge but just enough to look fun :D. Me being a total chicken that I am was skeptical that I was going to be able to handle the pain (it does hurt, best comparison is the pain braces give you when you get them adjusted) but I did and I love love love the look. I have never bought so many ear rings for myself and enjoyed wearing them so much. I have glass ones, metal ones, plastic ones, just so much fun. I went from a size 18/16 which is your typical piercing to a size 2G. I don't plan on going bigger as I am pretty happy with the current size ^.^ No tattoos for me but I am addicted to plugs and tunnels.
So for next year I plan on loosing weight again. I did this year but it was around 10 pounds. I want to make a bigger dent, look good and have a healthier life style. I think I will be happier in the long run too and less stressed out :D. Lots of change and do so we will see what sticks and what does not.
Have huge plans for next year and one of them is my dream trip. I am saving for Japan and hope I can do it I really do. Aiming to do it end of next year so it should give me plenty of time to save up the amount I need to go and have fun :D. It has been a trip i have wanted to do for about 11 years, so why not push myself to do so now before I am old or with kids (ugh kids, not wanting that now).
Funny how parents push kids on you when you don't want them. I am at a stage in my life I am starting to be happy with myself, comfortable and starting to stabilize my finances. Then parents try to force feed children and how I won't be complete without them. Sad part is I don't want them yet, and not sure when I will. I don't imagine myself a mom nor with kids around. I have very little patience for children and most of the time shy away from them because they are cryptic and I don't care to know them. I must be one hell of a weird girl, but meh guess "mom itch" has not hit me yet.
Been into photography more and it is such a relaxing hobby. Never thought I would enjoy it so much but have a few cameras that say other wise. I love getting lenses, going out and testing them. It relaxes me as much as drawing does.
Another addiction that started it off this year is supporting projects on a website called KICKSTARTER. Check it out the page is full of awesome products looking for people to help back them. Check out the ones I am backing:

So with that being said I hope everyone has a wonderful new year and please be safe you guys :D.

1. My husband ( I love him too much)
2. Dogs, I can't see my life without at least having one dog as a pet (always have always will until I die)
3. Art (being able to express myself artistically is what makes me tick).
Wacom Inkling Review
Sketched with it quite a bit last night to figure out all the ins and outs of this little inkling and all in all I am really happy. So with that being said I am going to highlight a few things to note with the wacom inkling.
Inkling is made for sketching:
The inkling was made to sketch ideas on paper, then pass them over to the computer skipping the scanning step. When you have a lot of sketches and time is money this is a great little option to have. It makes it a lot easier to have hundreds of sketches with you at all times. You can finish them up in your art program of choice. So what it promises to do it does well.
Line loss:
I experienced this 2 ways. One was on a large sketchbook, where I got to the bottom and it lost a few of my line information. Not a big deal for me seeing as I sketch on the medium and small sketchbooks and those have no line loss. The other very important thing to remember is to wake your pen up. If you are like me and are doing a few things at a time and leave the pen alone for a few minutes be sure to wake it up before drawing. I found this out when I started to work on the little dragon muzzle all the way on the bottom. I was drawing but did not see the green light up top flickering meaning it was registering my lines. So the best thing to do is to double tap on the paper with the pen and the pen wakes up as the green will start to flickr.
Small line shifts:
The inkling does have a small issue but nothing major. Seeing as you are sketching small like shifts won't be a big deal. I saw it in a few places such as the eyes when you are doing smaller details lines can shift slightly.
Exporting your line work (very important):
I tried exporting it to sketchbook pro and go the best results in line work. It was closer to the look I get when I sketch on sketchbook directly on the computer so expect me doing that. You can export to a few of the adobe programs such as photoshop and illustrator. It really depends on what you want to do. The lines are vector so you can alter them as you wish. I just wanted a simple no vector sketch so passed it to sketchbook. If you just import it to photoshop the lines come out a bit thinner such as in a previous pic I uploaded.
You are drawing with ink, so sketch lightly first:
A lot of people complain that you are drawing with ink but sketching is about getting your ideas out and not worrying about erasing. I sketch light to get my initial ideas out then go over it a lot harder to set my main lines I want to keep. So remember sketch light as you cannot erase.
I still need to do a full review on the inkling on video which I plan too. Had it for one day but already seeing how useful it will be for me. Take in mind this is not for everyone but it works for my lifestyle.

EDIT: Just went into the preferences and saw you can set it so the receiver reads bigger pieces of paper (with the app that comes with the inkling for the computer). This was probably my issue with line loss as I had it set for the smaller paper to start with. The settings give you lots of options.

Getting the hang of this and having fun. The lighting has gotten better in the videos and no more flickering with the lights we are using. Using water balloons in this video and shooting them with an air soft gun. I love the way water looks in slow motion.
Still have a whole lot of ideas to do, so expect to see more videos.

More slow mo tests with the Nikon J1, have a lot of other things up my sleeve which involve eggs, paint and water balloons ^.^
