Jaguar Aircraft Xara File Pull Apart
ACE asked if I would post a Xara work file of an aircraft so he could pull it apart. The file was done almost 8 years ago. The drawing is referenced from a photo, something I never do now, and was one of the first planes I did in Xara. I use many more layers now in my drawings, but it will give ACE or anyone else interested in drawing planes an idea of the way I do my drawings.

A very generous gift, gray.
A big thumbs up from me. :-bd

A truly wonderful piece of work Graham. The lighting and shade is perfect, right now if I was a colour it would be green.
Merry Christmas

Thank you for sharing that file.

Could you tell us how you set up your projects nowadays?

Thank you very much! I can't wait to take a look! Do you do your backgrounds as raster? Do you use a different program for background?
Merry Christmas!

Oops... Never mind - You answered that question on another post. Thanks again!

Re: Jaguar Aircraft Xara File Pull Apart
Thanks, all.
You're welcome, ACE. I hope it helps in some small way.
Boy, I create a simple 3D wireframe like the one below to give me the basic perspective I want.
Re: Jaguar Aircraft Xara File Pull Apart
Do you base your 3D wireframe and/or the final drawing details on a photograph?
Re: Jaguar Aircraft Xara File Pull Apart
Boy, it depends on the subject. I use 3- views and photo's for aircraft detail like panel lines and stencilling placement, but for some subjects there's very little if no photo detail. In those cases I have to draw it in where I think it should be. Sometimes I'll go over to the airport and take photo's of the runway and buildings for reference. I also take pics out the window when I'm on flights for future reference.
