Ron,

It was very generous of you to share your car drawing so that we can break it apart to see how you build your beautiful cars.

On behalf of all your fellow Xarians...Thanks!

Thanks Zee,
You're quite welcome. I am not an artist, I don't create, I copy. A lot of you guys here are truly creative and I wish I had your skills and creativity. But Xara allows me to copy images I really enjoy, (cars obviously being foremost) and to learn techniques to simulate the photos various dynamics. I have a lot of improvement to make, and it's a long and slow process for my weak mind.
Best Regards,
ron

Ron, I'm right there with ya bud. I can create from a copied picture, always have. Even back in middle school and high school in art class I loved to take a picture and 'blow it up' so to speak. Make a grid over the picture and then draw that same grid, scaled up, on a bigger piece. I never have been the creative type for some reason, but have been awed and inspired by those that can. Many people here do some fantastic work and I am humbled in their presence. This car is a fabulous rendition though, and although it may be copied it still takes work and dedication to achieve the "masterpiece" :P.. Many thanks for allowing us to pick this apart and learn .
