I hate Xara

At least you've got us as a support group...your fellow addicts!

Panfer, well, you look and take in more when you draw all the time. You just don't see what you think you do until you force yourself to notice the details. I think we take in only a small portion of our visual information so we are able to navigate across a room without tripping over our own two feet. (Sometimes I think there is a extra as I even read sometimes when walking).

Maybe what Raymond (Intbel) meant by his shadow not looking right, he is now paying attention to what everything looks like.

This is good, it is being alive awar, and we are getting to chronicle it.

So what if it is addicting. So is happiness.

Discover who you are and become what you have the potential to be. Your husband ought to have eyes to see below the surface of you and any dust on the end table. If you really love another person, you want them to be happy. It is about growth for him too, then isn't it?

Sally, you are so right about paying attention to details. Since I was first lucky enough to discover this group, I have learned much about detail...even little things like not putting highlights in the wrong place to match the shadows in a drawing.

Certainly your attention to detail pays off...

Your hotrod with flames is REALLY cool, and the headlight's realism makes the whole image sparkle.

Sally
It is true you notice different things like light and shade, formation etc and everything looks beautiful in its own ways.
Thanks for the wisdom.
Will thanks

Panfer, most of the members here probably are addicted to xara, I am one of them. I have spent more than 30 hours working on Xtreme, 3D6 over a weekend. Now I am using the skill and knowledge from this forum to design animations and graphics for friends’ websites, free of charge. “The worst” is that I just purchased Xtreme Pro. and Alien Skin Eye Candy 400. Cheers.
By the way, Bill, I got the registration code for Eye Candy 2 days ago. Thanks.

Addiction has gotten such a bad rap. Our are brains wired for addiction, if we give addiction it's broadest definition: a substance or behavior which our brains tell us we MUST have/perform. We are all BORN with additions, to salt, for instance and eating. We are unconscious of our 'salt hunger', but we will be driven to salty foods like deer to a salt lick if we get low on it.

So let us be a bit more generous to ourselves. Hell, some folks are addicted to work. Now, where i might think it a kindness to euthanize these poor sufferers, I can be generous and acknowledge that they are not doing ME any harm and indulge them their masochistic pleasures. In fact, i would even be willing to allow them to do my work for me, Lord knows I don't wanna do it. Not when I can sit at home and draw.

tou jours,

geo.

Man we are so on one line, I feel just the same.
I love drawing, especially with xara, so I don`t hate
xara, I hate my job, how dare they take me away from my favorite
addiction.

Yeah, Xara should come with a disclaimer on the box: This product produces euphoria from daily use do to its simple interface and the powerful way it blows Illy out of the water. The money you save in not buying Adobe products can now be used to get a good tablet, some extra plugins and an extra monitor so you can really draw in style. CAUTION: Avoid long periods of being out of the house as this may cause you to stay up all night to compensate. The need to keep food in the house, isn't such a need afterall. Xara could be used for weight control given severe enough addition (fried egg sandwiches and fried mushrooms and bacon are excluded of course).

chocolate, Potato Chips, addiction, love, hate, sorrow....
that is all part of life and xara plays a big part in it and makes everything colourful and less painful.

HappyNew Year to you all,
Niloufer
