Default One more for the road

Thank you all for your encouragement on my last post. I havee been absent from the forum for a while but here is my last drawing which has been a little time consuming.

Now that's elegant Sven the tyres, chrome, spokes, in fact all of it par excellence.

Two points:
  • The tires are a little bit in the air.
  • Xara Xtreme's export has added some jaggies around the car. To avoid this, you can export the image at 200% and after that, open the PNG with Xara Picture Editor and resize the image to the original size (50%). The Xara Picture Editor is able to resize the image without jaggies.

Regards,
Remi

Thank you very much, and Remi: That's a handy tip, I'll put it into practice immediately.

Very classy image Sven. I always find drawing these vintage cars far more satisfying than drawing a modern car.

A lovely classic car & drawing & I know that in your reflections you have put a road & green fields why not give some sort of background as I think the hood is lost slightly at the moment>

Sven, absolutely fantastic job!

Remi: How do you export a png at 200%. When I just tried, I noticed my Scale option is grayed out.
