My first drawing

[James Harness]

Hi everyone, this is my first work of art done on the computer. I designed a wallpaper for a contest that had to be Superman related. I did not win, but I had fun doing it. I guess that is all it matters. It is not 100% complete yet, but I think I will start on something new! I also included my line drawing.

Fine for your first drawing James but it is a bit too large as some folks will have to scroll to see it bring it down in size if you can 600x400 sort of thing.

Your first? That is most excellent.
I look forward to more .. if you can produce that as a first effort think what you will be accomplishing in six month's time!

Thanks for the comments. I have been following this site for a few months now and I really enjoy this forum. I'm glad that I can be apart of it. Also, I like to thank parahandy for the info.

James, excellent drawing! I especially like the glossiness of the S. Welcome to Xara and TalkGraphics!

Thanks again for the wonderful comments. I wouldn't have done it without the help of Gary's and Egg's awsome tutorials. I advise any new people who is using this great software to go through the tutorials for a better understanding. I was wondering if anyone has better skin tone pallet that I can work from, because I think my tones are too light and that's why I did not complete it.

This post from Craig should be helpful.
