Creating depth in a vector drawing

[angelize]

Here is the first of what I hope to continue as a series of videos. Part narrated Xara presentation and part screen demonstration here is my method for creating the illusion of depth. Any feedback on this will be much appreciated.

I apologize for the coughing in the middle of the video, I fought a tickle in my throat through a good portion of the screen demonstration.

For anyone who is interested the source materials I used in the video can be found in the Clip art gallery.

Well done Frances, that's a really neat way of creating depth, thanks for showing and sharing, loved the relaxed voice narration

Thank you Rik and Larry (just don't call me late for supper! ) I'm just glad you all liked the tutorial, and I hope the resource file I posted in the clipart gallery is useful. I'm already planning more!

Nice job, Frances

You have a great voice for these things...

The image looks cool, but also like it's under water somehow. (blue, watery background...softness, etc.)

I look forward to the next video. You're on a roll!

I just watched your "In Depth" tutorial for the first time. I say "first time" because I will definitely be viewing it again and again! Thank you, and be assured I will be following your series with concentration.
