This is my first attempt with Xara.
I usually do all my drawing in illustrator and the colouring in Photoshop.but as the latest CS4 versions have been bloated out if all proportions I decided to try something new. ( to me at least.)
As It now seems possible to do most things in this little gem of a program I should be getting things better, as time will tell.

Hi Jonny and welcome to the forum.
You have a distinctive and original style. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
Saludos,
Bob.

That is a beautiful pixie if I may say so. Considering you are new to Xara and the speed at which you have picked it up, I think your contributions will be very popular!

It's a lovely drawing, but those wings are truly splendid.

I agree, this is a really nice illustration, and those wings are really great

Hi Jonny,

welcome to Talkgraphics.

What a great picture for someone who is new to the software! I'm not gonna show you what my first finished picture looked like...

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Thanks for the welcome and kind comments I look forward to getting to grips with Xara. although I must admit I miss my gradient mesh and eraser LOL
