My first ever vehicle illustration

[Ross Macintosh]

The newer forum participants might not have seen this brilliant example of Xara skill.

Anyone know what's happened to BigFrank. He's missed.

While you're at it Ross, here's the post to Big Frank's XaraXone Guest Tutorial in which he explains how he created this image.

Maybe if we all chant [Big Frank, Big Frank, Big...[/B] at 12:00 GMT Frank will pick up on our vibes and check in :-)

Hi Big Frank

I know this is an old thread but haven't logged on for a while.

Fantastic picture, really amazing.

Just a thought you mention you were having a prob with the headlights, I haven't done any vehicle illustrations myself, but if you check out the clipart that comes on the XaraX disc there are several vehicle pictures with good headlights. You might be able to pick them apart to get ideas for creating the right headlight effect.

Two good ones that come to mind are 'Limousine' in the XaraX example drawings 2 folder and 'Car4' in the Transport folder.

Once again great drawing I'll h ave to check out the galleries to see if you've pasted any more pics.

cheers
