Finding up to date tutorials has now become quite difficult for
ArtWorks users. As John has mentioned the material in Acorn Publisher
is very useful (look out for authors like Henk Huinen - a brilliant
graphic artist).
My suggestion to improve your knowledge is to set yourself a project -
a simple drawing of "objet d'art" perhaps, (ideally containing regular
shapes and curves) and see if you can draw it. Confidence will quickly
be gained when you become familiar with the curve and line tools.
Another tool really putting some effort into learning is the
"Replicate" tool. Some amazing artistic (if thats your forte) effects
can be created.
I have a project to create some Celtic knotwork designs but am stuck
on how best to do the weaving patterns. Has anyone any ideas. Some
excellent examples have been published in the "Draw" format,
"Bitfolio, Edition 7 CDROM, (IMHO still one of the best Clip-Art
releases) but how?
