    Default Violin

    This was one of my earliest Xara artwork pieces, created soon after getting acquainted with Xara 13 years ago now - wow how time flies! I wanted to try and recreate something from 'life' so pulled down my old violin and propped it on my desk...

    It took a lot of work over several weeks but achieved a goal, in that I learned a lot of the capabilities of Xara whilst creating it. Getting the perspective and scale of the neck right was difficult.

    Of course, Xara became my favourite graphics application as it still is.

    I've used the finished violin image in several pieces of artwork now.

    That's an impressive piece of work, Steve. I like the angle of perspective you chose.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    It's refreshing to see someone draw something sitting on their desk instead of copying a photo (not that there's anything wrong with that (Seinfeld?)).
    A fantastic job and the perspective is extremely cool! Love it!
