  1. Can't believe it..............................

    I didn't leave. I'm just really busy right now, professionally and in my private life. This site tends to get negative sometimes, even when you are trying to be helpful, and because of that it's lower down on my list of things to do with my time. I didn't leave because of Gino, but I do view...

    I've been asking for this for years. I hope it some day becomes a built-in feature. Here is what I sent to Corel: In the meantime there is this: http://www.vakcer.com/ I've personally never used it, but I've heard good things.

    Thanks. I studied anatomy and life drawing in college, but in this case I did use reference images to do the initial sketch, then used the sketch to make the final vector illustration. Her body was initially posed using a 3d program called poser. I just use the basic female body that comes...

    Hard to say on how much time was spent. Hours and hours and hours. I don't typically work on something like this straight through. I may spend 15 minutes here during a lunch break, or a half an hour after work... or an hour or two at home when I have some time. Also there was the video...

    The van was done similar to how one would make any other vector vehicle illustration. I used a reference photo. In this case the important thing was to create one flat color shape for the main body of the van. Then all the highlights and shadows were drawn over top of that. I used the...

  9. Simple Storefront Makeover

    It wasn't a well known establishment when we did the work. but it is now. It's hard to find a place to sit if you go right at noon. I had similar concerns about the name and brand. I had to fight a little to get the eating utensils on there, but you have to keep in mind this is a small town...

    Oh also, when you are exporting your artwork, be sure that "Output color as:" is "Native" and "Convert spot colors to:" is unchecked.
  13. CorelDRAW tutorial

    You will have to go to the Palette Editor. The easiest way to do this is to double click on one of the colors on the color palette you want to add the new color to. It shouldn't matter which one. Inside the Palette Editor you will see a button that says Add Color. Select that, then pick out...
  14. Beer Label Design

    The fact that Stouts typically aren't extremely hoppy is exactly why the hops are so in your face on this brand. To let people know what they can expect inside the bottle. Hoppy stouts are less common but aren't unheard of, at least not in more recent times. Foe someone who is familiar with...
  15. Roller Derby Team Logo

    This is a logo concept created as sample piece for a sublimation printer. I used the good old fashioned 2 point perspective taught in jr. high industrial arts class to create this in CorelDRAW.:Big Laugh
  16. Beer Label Design

    I'm sorry you felt that way. That wasn't the case. I wasn't talking down to anyone. In post #9 I assumed some were joking around and it turns out nikdoobs was: "I knew it wasn't an artichoke, I was just busting OP's chops." #15 was in response to someone who thinks that imagery of ingredients...

    What about what I said was "condescending" Tim? I think you are reading between the lines a bit. I've been nothing but polite. And while I'm sure many of you know what hops look like, there is a real possibility that some do not. That post was addressed to those people, not you. I addressed...
