Today we are going to learn Bezier Tool in Coreldraw, so we are going to make a Cartoon Bird. Few more tool involved for making this cartoon. I’m going to use Corel X4 but you can use any version as no special command used during this tutorial. So lets enjoy making it.
Here is the final result of our Bezier Tool in Coreldraw tutorial:
1. First of all take a new File in Coreldraw, I’ve taken a Letter Size file (i.e. 8.5″ x 11″ having Portrait view).
2. I’m going to start from Eyes, so pick Ellipse Tool
3. Select the Ellipse and press F12 to bring Outline Pen dialog box, give the following parameters and hit Ok, give White color inside it:
4. Again by using Ellipse tool
5. Again by using Ellipse tool
6. Now pick Bezier Tool
7. Its time to convert these lines into Curves, so pick Shape Tool
Fill it with Cyan color (C=100 Y=0 M=0 K=0) and give the same outline as we give for First Ellipse so you may have:
8. I’ve made the bottom part by using same technique so I’ve this:
9. Select all these shapes and hit ‘+’ (Plus) key to duplicate or you can move the objects by using Pick Tool
10. I’m going to make the Beak of the bird, I’m expecting a little bit funny look of the cartoon, so by using Bezier tool
Fill it with Red color (C=0 M=100 Y=100 K=0) and apply the same Outline Pen properties so you may have this:
11. So by using Bezier
12. Now complete the head part by using these two tools so you may have something like this:
13. Let us make now its Right wing, by using Bezier
14. Its time to complete its Body Part, pick Bezier
again by using Shape
you may have:
15. So why not making the other parts of the body and also the both Paws, so I’ve done this work:
16. I’m going to show that this bird is watching its Long tail and feeling proud of it, so I’m going to give the same look as its Wings, so make three Quills of his tail as shown below:
17. Now we are going to learn another technique and it is about the Power clip (i.e. Masking any object into another object). Make two rough parts as shown below:
We want to put these two shapes inside the middle Quill of the bird’s tail. So that we should hide the extra parts, select both Black and Yellow shape and run the command Effect >> Power Clip >> Place inside Container, an Arrow will come, so click on the middle Quill of the tail, so both shapes would go inside it as (before doing so you must have to check the option in Windows >> Options and ‘Auto-center new Power Clip contents’ should be switched off, otherwise your object will go into the center of the Quill):
So after Power Clip it will look like:
Do the same thing for other two Quills so we may have our Final Cartoon Bird as shown below:
