Yeah John,
That did turn out nice. Thanks for posting.
I'll say it turned out pretty well. It looks really excellent John. I can never get over how much drawing it takes and how much patience as well.
Looks great John.

Looks damn good to me. =D>
Hi Gary, It only took me 6 hours tomake, 3 hours 2 days in a row. It looks like alot of work, but thats the great thing about Xara. I started of with the base shape of the car, and copied that shape alot and use transparent on top/sides and bottom while altering the colour of the base shape and just over laying those.Quote:

Hi Rik, guess your right I do tend to understates things when it comes to drawing with Xara, but as I said in my coment to Gary, I did the drawing in 2 days and yes it may look really good, but I'm sure most if not all of the people here can do it with a little practice, i'll see if I have some time tomorrow to show alittle of the (tricks)ways I use to get the effect seen on the Alfa Romeo.Quote:

Below is a image where I changed the base colour to show some of the shading effects, and put some transparent items around the car to show them better.

Very Good - Thanks for Sharing --Tom aka Hwy101
Very nicely done, John.
Here's my quick Shade lesson.
I left the lines on to better show the images 1 to 6 and put them next to eachother, normally they would be on top of eachother.
I start off with my base object(in this case the car body)(1) I give it the colour I want then Imake a copy and copy it over the previous (1).
Then I change it to a lighter colour and put a downward transparentcy on it (2),I make another copy of my baseobject(1)for the back of the car, and depending on where the light is comin from I make it darker or lighter, in this case darker(3)and put a transparentcy on it. At the front of the car I also wanted it to be a bit lighter(4)and put a downward transparentcy on it, then for the last 2 parts I wanted the shade comin up from the ground, see 5 and 6,and put a upward transparentcy on them, if you combine them all and turn off line visibility 7 will be the end result.
