I use Xara X for colouring cartoons and illustrations. In the "old days" I used water colours and colour pencils, but it took ages and were hell to correct if you made misstakes (especially with water colours). With Xara I can change the colours and the shape of the coloured areas much faster, and I can also try and compare different colours without destroying the "original" image.

When I come to think about it, I believe this is my first ordered illustration I have made completely with Xara. I would have done it in traditional ways (= by hand) if I had had the time. Otherwise I draw the black & white illustration, scan it, and finally put colour on it with Xara.
