22 July, 2015 by tatica 1 Comment

To make the previous article and create the animated gif, instead of just using a single image or make a video, I used a combination between recordmydesktop, ffmpeg and GIMP. 1 First we have to make our recording, and to do this, we can use any app such as recordmydesktop, Istambul, Xvidcap or any you like. In my case, I recorded [...]

Symmetrical mirror painting with Mypaint

21 July, 2015 by tatica 1 Comment

I've never been good at freehand draw, and create images 100% symmetrical is definitely a challenge for me. Reading a bit about the features of the available apps, started playing with the mirror filter that MyPaint has. When you activate this filter, everything you draw on your canvas will be copied automatically at the opposite side, and [...]

14 July, 2015 by tatica Leave a Comment

Has been a busy week at work, and this time I had to download some files from a website but using sequential numbering. Would be easy just to right click the file, download them and rename each one, however, when we talk about 50 items with over 50 files each that doesn't seam the right [...]

12 June, 2015 by tatica 3 Comments

Sé que últimamente no he tenido tiempo de publicar en mi blog debido a que estoy super ocupada con el trabajo y la casa (nada de que preocuparse, son buenas noticias), así que mientras trabajaba, decidí simplemente grabar como hago las cosas; creo que a veces hay que dejar de complicarse y solo mostrar las [...]

Debating the Venezuelan University evaluation system

15 May, 2015 by tatica 2 Comments

As they say, "There is no limit to what you can dream"; however, the same apathy and disinterest of the general population decrease the will. I'm not a college graduate, even if I almost did it (personal reasons), yet, due the profession I decide to follow I have always been immersed inside the academic world. On [...]

This allows you to elaborate a main artwork and simply reorganize the elements that are part of it into a new design so [...]
