Sketch work + Illustrator



Yesterday night I was in a mood to sketch some thing, bought a square ruled book and a pencil and started sketching up and here is what it turned out to be. I did had some help on how to draw though.

After sketching it through, I took a photograph and started doing some touch up with Illustrator and you can see how it turned out finally into a digital cartoon. Click on the Digital image to watch it clearly with a white background

Revving up

Its funny how I poke into every thing, recently I have been able to get my hands on with the android development, wrote few small apps on currency conversion and a few on how to use google maps with the android sdk (you need google apis downloaded for that).
Android developer guide is the place where you can get all the details on how to start and develop a small application.
Taking it a step further I also happened to look around on how the games in android are developed. Its exciting to know how basic games work, how multi-threading in Java helps in game looping - basically two parts game rendering and game updating at a constant FPS.

Also apart from android, I recently came across the news of facebook integration with the cloud services with heroku and had a sip of that as well, just the basic how to get started and here it is herokuapp/ the URL for that facebook application. You can find this getting started in developer area of facebook
