Hi everybody,
Here is my new Illustration in XDP6, back to cars drawing.
The first car drawing in XDP6 mercedes benz, i tried in this drawing to use no much feather and instead of the feather region, used Transparency. it´s not so shiny car drawing but the first try in XDP6.
Hope you like it.
Any comments and suggestions are very welcome.
Best Regards BP

Nice BP, I like how you have handled the underside shadows and reflections.
I do think the marbles and glassy text spoil the overall image though (fine as they are on their own)

High BP, great work! How long did it take you to do this one? I really enjoy the drawings of automobiles done in Xara. One day, I too will post an automobile.

I like the car but I'm not sure what the marbles are for. Although you did do a great job on the marbles also.

I think the only thing that I could suggest would be about the reflection. The wheels of the reflection seem too hard. I do like the double shadow underneath the car. Well done.

Great job BP, I agree with sledger, the marbles do take a little away from the Mercedes. I love the car, makes me want to go buy one

Thanks Steve, Paul and Merv for your comments.
I well delete the Marbles of the background regarding your suggestions and try to draw a Mercedes Star instead of the Marbles.
Paul, i don´t count the time when i draw something in Xara, but such drawing of cars can take around 15,00 to 25 hours of your time.
Here is the MB in many colours used the Named colours in Xara.
