How to make a Splash in CorelDRAW

Yesterday, I’ve visited my classmates at the boarding house to do my coursework. Recent days, I’m very busy working on my assignment because several months before I forget almost all of my duty to pursue my passion in design.

When I came into his room, my friend was too busy designing his Web page. I sat down and opened my laptop when my friend asked "Pin, do you know how to make a splash in  Corel". I am a little confused for a moment, thinking. Then I asked my friend, "What kind a splash do you want?"

He shows the splash of water. I understand, then I try to make it in CorelDRAW. After a few moments, finally I can make a splash like my friend wanted.

if you are also wondering how to make a splash in corel?

Here's the tutorial!

First off all.  You should open a new project in Corel. You can press CTRL + N or click on the bar.

Then when a blank area has served, now find the Elipse Tool and press it. If you couldn’t find it. Just press F7.

Now, move on your design area, drag the cursor create new circle. Don’t forget to press CTRL to make it perfect.

After you’ve created the first circle. We need to create smaller circle. I’ll create 3 circles more with various size but it mustn’t bigger than the first circle. Use elipse tool and drag again or you can just duplicate the first circle (CTRL + D) then resize it.

We need to make all the circle connect to point (biggest circle). So we need to use Bezier tool to create custom shapes. You can use another tools but I feel comfort with this one. Click on Bezier tool, then click on any place to create custom shape to connecting little circle to the point. Do it again to another.

Here’s after you finished connecting all circle to the point.

Then, select all objects. Use your mouse or press CTRL + A. The combination commands will appear on the bar.

Here is the combination bar.

Press “Weld” from the combination bar to merge all objects into a new form.

Now, go to shape tool and click to the object.

After you clicked the object, right click on the line of the object, choose “Add”. Or you can simply double click to do the same thing.

It use to add new node to the object so we can transform or change its structure. Do again on the other side so we have two new nodes (highlighted).

Do it to the other side so make we have total 6 new nodes.

Next, I’ll remove the nodes which makes bridge of two circle (Each brigde has 4 nodes). Remove all of the nodes (Total 12 nodes - highlighted)

then you’ll get new shape like this.

The last thing we need to make it looks like a splash is colouring it. And here’s the result. .

Tadaaaaaa!!!!

About the coloring, I’ll post it in the next article. Stay tune!

REMEMBER!

It’s not talent that make us great, but our practices of it!
