Ebony Art II The drawing is a representation of jazz dance. It was done on commission from DanceArt.com in preparation for Black History Month.

This drawing was done entirely in Xara. The figures are composed of over 700 individual objects. The file contains many advanced fills and transparencies to simulate a 3 dimensional effect.

This particular drawing was done on 7 layers because of the many overlapping body parts and background fills, such as the man's arm across his chest.

The fractal fills and transparencies use for this drawing is stronger than others I've done. The main thrust of the background was done using a sharply slanted fractal fill overlaid on a diamond fractal fill. The two were then blended using the blend tool and a few transparencies add to soften the effect.
