Intermediate Level Tutorial Creating Water Drops

Hello CorelDRAW users from all skill levels.

In this Tutorial I will show you how to create water Drops in CorelDRAW I have adapted this
Tutorial from one that was written for Adobe Illustrator by Beatriz Marinello..
1. Open CorelDRAW and start with a new document

2. Select your ellipse tool from the CorelDRAW Toolbox and draw an ellipse on the screen as
shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1

3. Now we are going to add a Fountain Fill to this ellipse. With the ellipse selected go to the
Fountain Fill Tool off the Fill Tool Flyout. When the Fountain Fill dialog box opens you will
be in the two color mode. The FROM Color default is Black and you want to change it
to CYAN, Set the Fill Type to Radial. Move your mouse pointer to the window in the upper
right corner of the dialog box. Put your pointer on the white spot in the middle of that
window holding down on the left mouse button and drag the white circle to the center
bottom of that window (as shown in Figure 2) then click ok.

Intermediate Level Tutorial Creating Water Drops

4 . Now draw a small ellipse in the upper left hand corner of your large ellipse. Fill
that ellipse with White no outline and give it a 40% Transparency. Add hairline
outline to your large ellipse with a color made with this formula
C 49 M 2 Y 7 and K 0 your water drop should now look like the one below in Figure 3.

Figure 3
5 . Now change the Transparency of the large ellipse to 45%. Your water drop should
now look like the one below in Figure 4.

Figure 4

6 . Now using the envelope tool you can distort several copies of the water drop to make them
look more realistic since not all water drops are the same shape. Below in Figure 5 are
some samples of our original water make with the envelope tool applied..

Figure 5
6 . Obviously the colors you use to create your water drop as well as the amount of Transparency
you use will be determined by the image you are going to place the water drops on top of as
you can see from my example in Figure 6 where I not only changed the colors but the
amount of transparency as well.

Have fun with this project and if you need help or get stuck I am only an e-mail away at
