Drawing, Really enjoy just grabbing the ipad and creating things. It's amazing how 2d shapes can trick the viewer in actually understanding what you've drawn.

Got a background in 3D and Programming, but I think the 3d industry has the same approach to problems as programming. Couple of frameworks and libraries and poof, you have an applications.

In 3d you grab a render engine, a light setup, some assets and poof, you have an image/game/animation. I miss the days that I 3d was exploring and experimentation. The alternative would be to dive into 1 subject (modeling, rendering, lighting, FX etc). But in my experience that just made me feel like a factory worker. Piece of concept art, here you go.

3D can really trap you into polishing a soulless turd, so I'm learning drawing. where you can't cut as many corners and enjoying the creative process again.

On the programming side I'm just enjoying work and learning on the job, also going back to the fundamentals like shell, sql and regex. It's amazing how much you can automate.

Especially resources for deliberate/edge practice.
