CorelDRAW for Skinners. Part 2: Drop Shadows & Reflections. | |
I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from last weeks CorelDRAW for Skinners and a lot of requests for more videos, so this week we have 2 more. I will try and cover all requests as time allows. This week I am covering the two most asked for techniques that I am using in the Icon-A-Day icons, Reflections & Drop shadows. Both these videos ran a bit longer than I wanted, but they cover all the basics, and should allow for a better understanding of some of what is being done it the written tutorials. This weeks videos: Dropshadows 101 Reflections 101 Stay tuned for more; I will try and get 2 more in next weekend. Requests encouraged, and appreciated. |

These videos just get better and better.
Looking forward to the whole series.
A "yes, please" vote on the contour tool here, that was very cool the way you just drew up that text.
Thank you

Love these.. I have had Corel for a while but have not been using it. How about a "basics" class, things like combining items, drawing shapes, etc.
I have a q about that. If I take 2 objects and "combine" them, I can no longer use the MESH tool on them, is that correct? If so, is there a way to put a "hole" in something and still have the MESH tool available?

I am in agreement with everyone. I have been charged with developing new icons for my company's new software, and I have been using Photoshop for years to do so. After watching these videos and following your tutorials, I am well equiped to deliver some great icons. Thanks! I went right out and bought CorelDraw and Axialis IconWorkshop...
By the way, I have found that CorelDraw 12, and Axialis IconWorkshop are a great combo for creating great icons. I have used a lot of different programs to create icons, and so far I'd say this combo is the best.
My vote goes for an advanced mesh tool lesson, and perhaps some intro lessons on perspective and 3D (extrude), and the contour tool would be great as well.
Thanks Again!
