Gary we all appreciate all of the work you do on the tutorials and the Web xealot. We can never thank you enough. I agree with most of the others that some form of a workshop would be good. I can not wait for your CD's. I will definitely buy them.

I for one love the idea of a workbook type approach with simple step by step tutorials concentrating on single techniques. I think it would be brilliant and would help beginners like myself get a better understanding of the techniques.
..that is of course, if you can find the time, I don't know how you do it, but all your efforts are GREATLY appreciated.

Illustrating materials--gold, brass, wood, water, glass, ceramic, folded cloth, rust, chrome. Sure, these subjects have been treated in the XaraXone tutorials, Webxealot, and forums. But singly focused approaches to techniques would be welcomed by a lot of us.
How about lighting? And shadows? And bump-mapping?

for all the work Gary.
why not take a break. Then start the
workbook idea. I like the idea Christine
put forward. It would get a people involved,
and show a lot of different ways of accomplishing
the same thing.
Thanks again.
Brian.
If you have anything specific you would like covered, or as Soquili suggested, you have an image you have created and feel you can go no farther and need help, e-mail them to me.
In the Subject line enter Workbook and please, try to keep the file sizes considerate.

Does anyone remember the Xealot before Gary started his super-manual?
Would it be possible to go back to that format?

I'm not sure who would pick the door prizes. Wilbur and Orville finch have gone to the millet seed in the sky and we gave up the flock of hens when we moved. Still have the five cats and Harry the extraordinary Canary but they have attitudes these days [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Al K's idea is interesting. What about a study of metals: typical finishes (polished, burnished, etc.) and color characteristics?
A mini-tutorial/workbook approach sounds excellent. Creating vector gold, silver, marble finishes and other surfaces would always come in handy. Gary, you have ample tutorials to derive mini-tuts from. Just picking up a clever technique from each tut would keep you busy for a long time.
I don't see that repeating, and elaborating on some techniques from the tuts would be a bad thing.
A "make-over" type approach could also be interesting - perhaps it would be to much to do a full image but perhaps certain aspects of it?
Keep up the good work!
