Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
I have begun reading those tutorials, I think it's always a good thing to improve and to use a program that will enable me to do so.
I have just completed the DB class collection. Once I have completed a project I then do a graphic displaying all the locos I have created in that class.
ok, this is Colhad's n00b Graphix. At least its a start, think of it as getting your feet wet. In 12 months time I'll look back at this and say look how far I've come with Xara, won't need PSP anymore.
I like it - a new genre for you!
Your locomotive looks fun. In terms of having fun it's a great start, when you wish to return to your precise and controlled graphic style, you'll find that really easy to do.
I find what you've just done ( a fluid, organic style ) harder to do than the precise stuff!
Keep those locomotives rolling - welcome aboard!
I will now show my latest graphic.
I sort of wonder if I overdid the border a bit as it probably takes a lot of focus off the loco itself. By and large I am relatively happy with it, I like to be satisfied with my efforts and not too critical as I like to think positive about them.
It's a Commonwealth Railways/Australian National Railways NJ Class locomotive.
Since it's a bigger graphic than the DB class I was able to put more detail on it, all my locos are dependant on the size of a locomotive in a photograph. Sometimes they come out smaller than I thought, it's only when I try to add text that I can struggle a bit if it's too small. All part of learning, but that is a good thing.

It will be a thing of the past when you get to know Xara! Size isn't an issue.
Try a different border.
I like it although I feel that the background and loco graphics compete for attention.

They are terrific and wondered what you plan to do with them?
Just thinking as I enjoy creating greeting cards and this is something that could be used on the cards as too many are female orientated stuff and there is a distinct lack of male orientated stuff. Maybe you should contact a greeting card manufacturer to see if they would be interested in them.
Just a thought. but they look great.
