    Default Tutorial / Xara file for download

    For anyone.

    I decided to make this drawing available for any Xara user who would like to download it and pick it apart. That way you can see what was done and how it was created.

    Maybe there is something I did you will find useful when creating your next Xara drawing?

    I hope it's useful to those interested. I figured it would be easier to see how a drawing was created, if you could actually touch it and move it around. There's nothing too complicated in the drawing.

    Xara file is 238 KB

    Thank you very much, Bob. You have given me the incentive to start using my Wacom tablet again. Your work flow with Xara appears to be similar to working with onionskin paper or acetate cells.

    Yes, that's exactly how it's like. One thing I forgot to mention is that make the sketch you're updating unselectable in the layer gallery. That way you don't select it and push it out of place.
