I started a new hobby: learning to draw. Attempting that with the drawabox course and “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” from Betty Edwards. Drawabox seems very good from a technical point of view but maybe a bit boring, so i bought that book too which is supposed to be more fun. We’ll see how far I can get!

I randomly ended up in a Masterclass by Tyler Jacobson today at Lucca Comics. And by randomly i really mean i walked into the wrong place… but it ended up being the most interesting thing i did today! His deep dive on how art works for designing fantasy worlds and characters was great. Also learned technical things like contrast > value > temperature > color. Super interesting

I'm (back) on BlueSky 🦋 at @alessandromarrella.com. Looks a bit more populated now!

Tried to get Claude to play Neuralink's webgrid game using their demo container on computer use. It started off great but then the cursor looked off target. Still really fun and exciting tech! See the video on YouTube
