Hi guys, don't forget that when you draw in Xara with the Freehand Brush Tool, you are always drawing paths.

If you switch on pressure recording, you only change the brush that Xara uses. To change the thickness, you can only use the line thickness.

In my experience, the only way to draw reasonably naturally in Xara is to use the Shape Painter Tool in Paint mode.

Examples of where I use this are in my woodcut drawings by Dürer.
