    Hi James

    One thing I've long thought about trying to draw is a realistic metallic coin. I tried once but it wasn't very successful. Perhaps you & others would like to give it a shot. Such challenges are a great way for us all to learn from each other.

    Regards, Ross

    Hey , I would really like to learn how to trace a realistic photo more professionaly. how to play with depth, or idea for a logo.
    as a professional designer you probably know the difference between all the file types... I know what is *.bmp and jpeg and gif... but there are other windows metafiles. If you could explain the difference between the file types I am sure people will appreciate that (I certeinly will http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

    For example: In CD you can make fonts and save as truetype...

    Regards,
    Availor.

    First attempt at a metallic coin. Makes the queen look a little stranger than usual.

    I'm not sure I could do a tut for this beyond; 'draw a profile of a queen and stick it in a metalic circle'.
    It's drawn using a tablet but its not constructed in a way that I could breakdown into a series of stages very easily.
    If anything it needs more definition and a little more contrast, so I might attempt it again and keep copies of various stages if I get a chance.
    This one was quite quickly done, about 2 hours. Doing it slower and putting it together in a more orderly manner might allow me to improve it.
    Anyway James is doing a tut.

    Good idea Ross
    We had this thread quite a few years ago. Here was my attempt from then.
