New Tutorials for CorelDRAW and Corel Photo Paint.


I thought it was time some tutorials was written around the subject about how to use these applications and some of their powerful tools. If anything is not clear, or you want to know how this or that task is accomplished, let me know, and maybe we will end up with a new tutorial! Writing tutorials for CorelDRAW is a big challenge, and this will be my contribution to an application that i love and live with every single day.
Here we go, and "Good Luck to You"!

CorelDRAW..
You and I will start out with a few very simple exercises, where you will be familiar with some basic tools. These tutorials are written for version X3 and X4 of CorelDRAW, but apply to versions as far back as 7, or even version 5. There is something here for beginners as well as more experienced CorelDRAW users.
All tutorials will open in a new window!

KALEIDOSCOPE PATTERNS!
This one is stolen from Xaraxone.com-
But with the permissin from the author
Stephen Robinson, thank you Steve,
I spent some time to translate the steps
for DRAW but it's realy simple and traight
forward. In 10 steps and less than two
minutes you have an exiting pattern like a
Kaleidoscope or quilt pattern, and it's realy fun.
PIPE LIKE A PRO..!
NO, this is not about Snowboarding.
If you know how to draw some realistic
pipes and knee bends, then this is not
for you, I've had a lot of thinking to do
to figure out a way to do this, so, I did
the thinking for you, now you can draw
some pipes for me.

NEON CITY LIGHT!
This one is about outlines,
and outlines only, it will give
you an idea on how the Pen
Tool acts, and you will have
yourself a nice and realistic
neon sign.

ANOTHER GLASS BUTTON!
This one is about Transparency,
it will give you some new ideas
on this "see-through" tool, and you
will have yourself a brand new
glass button.
