Fills and Brushes features the best free pattern fills and custom brush shapes that you can download and add to your Fill Gallery and New Brush Shapes section of the Line Gallery. (There are four separate pages).

To add any of the fill collections to Xara, first download the files from this site. Create a new folder and extract the Zipped files to this new folder. Open the Fill Gallery and press the Disc Fills... button. Browse to the new folder containing the fills. Select the file name and press Add. Xara will display a message informing you that no index exists for these fills and would you like one to be created. Press Create and Xara will create a new folder with small thumbnail images. That’s all there is to it.

Steve has come up with a of most inventive brush. It mimics the ethereal quality of smoke. Follow the instructions above to use the brush. The outline color determines the color of the smoke. For the example above I used two versions, each a different size and a different color: pale blue and very pale tan. Click here to download the Zipped file (89K).
