Allergies and Other Stuff
Mar. 6th, 2021 01:33 amUGH!
It's that time of year for seasonal allergies to strike. I would love spring except for all the damn pollen swirling around making me miserable. Insert COVID and now every little sniffle, or chill, or sore throat makes me freak out. Hay fever is not fun. Unlike COVID, allergies/hay fever resolve with antihistamines.
...
Went to my electrolysis consult. Good news, it's very likely my face and abdomen will get approved. Bad news, my lower legs, chest and upper arms will mostly likely not.
Eh, it's fine. At least they will cover something. In the past, medical insurance companies did not cover ANY hair removal procedures, so the fact they now do is like having an early Christmas present. I'll take what I can get :)
...
Still enjoying my Surface Studio 2 even after an update that made it semi laggy. It's fine now, but sheesh it was annoying.
Still plugging away at that toucan illustration. It's 98% done. If I actually spent more time on it, it would be done by now. I'm too busy job searching, learning motion graphics, being the family chauffer and trying to lose weight to fully devote time to illustration. I need to find a way to better manage my time.
...
I LOVE the sketchbook app interface, but I HATE it's lack of advanced features. What kills it for me is the inability to mask layers, link other types of files like smart objects and it's weak soft/air brush. But I suppose it never was meant to be a Photoshop like tool. Too bad, it would kick major ass if it did incorporate those Photoshop like features.
CSP, so far is pretty awesome, but I kinda hate the interface. If they would, say, change the interface to mirror Sketchbook's that would be great. Anyways, CSP has a lot of advanced features that Sketchbook does not, including masking and 3D reference posing! Of course I haven't figured how to use the 3D feature yet, but I will...eventually, lol.
