Hi all,

I've been asked to make some illustrations of robots for an ad campaign. I'm thinking of doing them in Xara, but am not sure how to achieve the fantastic photorealistic quality that's shown by some of the examples in the Xara gallery - the subtle, painterly shading and effects. Would anyone kindly point me to some tutorials or tips and tricks for realistic digital painting in Xara?

Thanks in advance!

Manoj
