My first art piece.

That's great, especially the ladybird (ladybug?)

In the U.S. I've always heard it referred to as a Ladybug. Apparently not so in the U.K.

Wikipedia:
"Coccinellids are known as ladybugs in North America, and ladybirds in Britain and other parts of the English-speaking world. Entomologists widely prefer the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles as these insects are not classified as true bugs.^["

Please take a look at the Xara Xone that Gary had run which had a wide variety of tutorials for Xara software.

Some of the functions may have changed a little in the newer software put still a great place for information. I know I have and many other members on here have done some of the tutorials.

Also check out Angelize Yotube videos. https://www.youtube.com/user/angelize1014?feature=mhee

I should also state you did a great job for your first drawing.
