Thanks, cursor, and I do show how to draw and texture this Platonic solid in January's video tutorial.

What I did that was special in the above drawing was to pass the finished drawing, as a bitmap, through Nik's color eFex 2, an Adobe Standard plug-in that might just work in Xara. It blurred based on edge luminosity to give the artwork a dreamy sort of appearance.

Working between vector art and bitmaps can be rewarding if you pick Your Live Effects appropriately.

My Best,

Gary
