Thank you Black Panther. I'm particularly honored to get this kind of feedback from you. I love your artwork and your attention to detail. Congratulations on getting into Xara's art gallery. From the artwork that I've reviewed, you earned it. Keep up the great work!

Thank you BP. I appreciate all the help that I can get. This forum has been a tremendous asset and everybody has been so helpful. I have been doing many tutorials throughout the site but one of my main ambitions is to learn how to draw portraits and cars using Xara extreme. I came across this picture that was done using vector graphics. I'm not sure who the artist is or what program it was done in. But this is the type of drawing I'm interested in doing.

The image of Jessica Alba belongs to Ruslan Khasanov

This is great portrait paul, i did search in google and found the image and the artist, who drew this image.
He is an artist from Russia, but i think he used Illustrator and the Gradient mesh in Illustrator.
Here is the link:

But you, and Xtreme users and i too, we can draw like this in Xtreme without using the Gradient mesh tool.

With all the sample artwork that I've seen done in Xara, I agree with you 100% I am only interested in using Xara for my artwork. The sphere that I've been working on was created in a 3-D program and I was told that I would not be able to duplicate it in Xara. That's one of the reasons that I'm using it as my avatar. With a little imagination anything is possible using this program. Thank you for the links, they are very informative.

Have you seen the work of Valery Kouleshov Paul? Pure Xara [plus a lot of sheer talent!] as far as I know
