Man's Face

[cleggart]

This was all done in Line Tool (Xara X). (Not color in bkgd. I created a line using an 'orchid' and then used different widths and color. I used a variety of types of lines and color.The main fill on man's face is all done with
the 'orchid' line. For the hair I tiled the orchid and by reducing to such a small orchid,tiled, it gave it a brown color. I use a digital pad and believe there is no other way to go with the LINE tool. The black line of the face is truyl a delight. I feel sure that cartoonists will find their own nitch with it. Thanks all Xaraians for loving attention....Bill Clegg

Fantasic use of lines, a real testament to how far Xara has come in terms of flexibility.
Allow me to link here to William's gallery at the Xaraxone ... where there are more excellent Xara offerings.

You have a sound understanding of drawing heads, and of expression. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
