In this tutorial we will show you how to create radial fills in Corel Draw. Tutorial Includes project files.
First lets select any object with the Pick Tool.
You can select multiple objects and the fill you choose will be applied to all selected objects.
Now Click on the Fill Tool in the Toolbox.
Choose the second icon to open the Fountain Fill window.
After that choose Radial in the Type drop-down selection box
The Fountain Fill Color Window will pop up:
Choose Two Color in the Color Blend section of the Fountain Fill window.
Then Click on the From button to choose the first color. Choose from the preset selection.
After that, Click on the To button to choose your second color in the same way. The sample in the upper right corner of the window previews your colors as you choose them.
Remember to select RADIAL TYPE, from the Fountain Fill Window.
You can also Click on the preview sample to change the position of the center of the fill, or set Center Offset numerically in the Center Offset section of the window.
A negative number moves the horizontal center to the left and the vertical center down.
A positive value moves the horizontal center to the right and the vertical center up. You can view changes in the preview window.
As an example I chose: Horizontal:10 and Vertical: -20
If you want you can also set a percentage value in the Edge Pad dialog box found in the Options section of the window.
This setting will provide a pad of solid color at the edges of the object.
And this is the result:
Have a lot of fun!!!!
