    No politics intended or taken. Now, as to the wire thing, if you just skribble in wire, you just get skribbles, not masterpieces. If you create masterpieces, as in this thread, you get some pretty magnificent wire work.

    When I do any picture I use so many variants of techniques and actually I don`t think about future titorials, so I have to remember what I did step by step. Main question for me is which step was a first and which a last one. Instead of talking around I send a zoomed part of portrait.

    Simply the Best.

    To think that this is produced on the same software that I use. I feel embarassed, I lack skill.

    The best drawing I have seen from this software.
    Design is thinking made visual.

    Wow!

    You have so much technical skill and artistic ability that it's almost frightening what you can do! Fantastic!

    Hmmm... I'll say it again... That xara.com gallery section needs some serious updating. If images of this calibre can't sell a vector application - nothing will. Server space is cheap... expand the gallery!
