But what I see in my mind and what happens on paper or in this case Xara are 3 different things and none of them show what I have in my mind.

I know I post a few things on this forum, but I am in fact in the same predicament and frustration. Most of what I do tends to just happen by chance (one thing leading to another) rather than design. The thing is, you've got the idea and concept in your head.

I've not done this myself (yet!), but I believe one way to get over this is to learn to draw with pencil and paper and keep practicing to build up hand/brain coordination. My bookshelf is littered with books gathering dust with titles like 'Learn to draw in a weekend' and 'An introduction to drawing'. The problem is I get excited about the prospect of getting stuck in, but then don't!

Meanwhile here's capybara (a giant rodent native to South America) or an unhappy alien.
