Open a new canvas 400x400. Select the path drawing
tool, dark blue in colour, 3D round, border 36, depth 30, ellipse.
Draw shape. Click on the materials button and be sure that you only
have 1 direct light selected. Then using the same colour draw a
rectangle shape with a border of 44 and a depth of 6. This time
you need to have 2 direct lights selected. |
|
Using the transform perspective tool pull inwards
the bottom of your rectangle and place this piece as shown in the
diagram behind the ellipse shape. |
|
Select all objects and merge as a single object. Using
the blur tool, go over the rectangle/oval join and then using the
smudge tool and starting from the bottom of your vase, smudge upwards
and slightly inwards on the right hand side. This will give your
vase a better curved look about it. |
|
Using the transform tool, stretch your vase both to
make it slightly fatter and also to lengthen it. |
|
Open the sample image you downloaded earlier and copy
it. With your vase selected, go to Edit/Fill. Click on the image
tab and be sure that clipboard is selected and also fit the image.
In the merge dropdown box, choose one of the merge effects in the
dropdown box...in fact preview all the different merge types to
see what effects you get, be sure that you like your selection before
clicking on the ok button. (The merge I chose for this tutorial
was "lighten") |
|
|
Using the path drawing tool, ellipse 2D grey, draw
and oval that stretches across the width of the top of your vase
and then select the paintbrush round shape 4, with the same blue
colour as that of your vase. Click on Effect/Paint on Edge. Your
vase should now look similar to the one in the diagram. |
|
|
Finally, draw another oval about the same depth but not quite
as wide as the last one you drew and then change it to a 3D shape
with a border of about 16 and a depth of about 30 and put it at
the bottom of the vase. Send to the back slide it upwards so just
a little bit of it is showing to form the base stand.
If you're storing this vase in your Easy Pallette for future
use, then I suggest you merge everything as a single object other
than the top part because then you're able to put flowers in your
vase without problems.
