Thanks Guys. It goes to show how far a sketch can go if you give people a free taste and self-promote yourself on the Internet. With all of web sites out there, I think the Internet is hungry for...
About two years ago I used Xara P&GD9 to draw a digital portrait of Wilhelm Roentgen, the founder of my profession of Radiology. This was just a practice sketch to learn how to use Xara with my Wacom...
Here is just the background mitochondria for you to work with, fade and no fade. The formatting is not a free for all. The title goes on top with the subtitle just under the main title. There must be...
This is about as large as I can go with the photo because the bottom corner is reserved for publisher/endorser logos. I agree that with more of the bike shwoing, Greg is no longer floating in space....
Here it is with faded photo edges. The drop shadows on the text helps keep it sharp and legible when reduced to thumbnail size when listed on online book lists. I tried it without the text shadows...

Hello all,
I have been fortunate to get a double book contract with the largest science book publisher in the world (Elsevier/Academic Press) and got to work with my all-time sports hero Greg...
Nice work! It proves how good Xara software can be. They say Vermeer mastered interior lighting in the 1600's.
Nice work! If it's not too much trouble, I would like a printer friendly version (dark text on a light background).
Most of this technique was done on a Wacom Intuos Creative Pen & Touch Tablet with Xara PGD9 software. The Boogie Board LCD tablet is a great way to get started though. The Wacom tablet is indirect...
The book is released and selling well internationally. Out of 25,000 active Elsevier book titles, our book was the number one featured book on all 121 Elsevier Store international home pages during...
My Xara digital etching technique lead to a newsletter article with one of the major publishers in my field of Radiology. Here is the article about how radiologists need to develop their artistic...
Love the 3/4 view, windshield, and chrome. The fender highlights are not as convincing.
Groovy. That first one is now burned into my retinas
Thanks, those look really cool!
I am probably going to go with this, which was made using Xara and then some Photoshop color changing.

This previous Xara sketch I drew looks too much like fan art.

Thanks, I prefer the b&w version but his head looks a little disconnected.
I know the first one is much better. The first one is on DeviantArt but the artist hasn't responsed to my inquiries. I would like to use his work (the first one) but cannot unless I get permissions....
I am writing a journal article on the history of physics and need a modern-looking pop art portrait of Albert Einstein that would look good in color or B&W (in case the journal only allows B&W for my...
I just heard back from the biggest radiology journal in the world regarding my "History of Light" illustrated feature article (proposal of the concept) and I am moving on to submitting the complete...
I just got some good news about the Roentgen concept. The first editor in the original post loved the art but his journal is about clinical radiology and not the history of physics. Also his journal...

Thanks Wizard. The best response came from a simple peer review question: "Would you buy the book?" and the Johns Hopkins cardiologist said not only would he buy it, he would recommend it to the...
