Colouring a drawing in Xara

A quicker way to create the necessary shapes to fill a drawing in Xara Xtreme. Other than manually creating and shaping each individual shape.

is there much difference between xara extreme an xtreme pro 5

@jaylpp12 Not a whole lot different. I think Xara's website indicates the differences between the two.

I wish they added a feature called Live Paint. It is pretty useful for a cartoonist, but thanks for the workaround :).

All I did was draw the cartoon by hand and then close any open areas with a fine line. Then I would scan the drawing, use software to trace the scan, convert the result to vector and import into xara. The scan and convert would take just a minute or two, and now it is in Xara and I can color it in without any trouble. Right at the start of the vid you say it's made up of broken lines, and my question would be, why? Why make it out of broken lines???
