THE RINGS 1. Open a new canvas - 300W x 300 pixels - background colour black. 2. Using the Path Tool - Shape-Circle: Color-White: Mode 2D draw a circle approximately 250W x 250H pixels. 3. Change the Mode to Continue Draw and draw another circle within the first. (If necessary Click on the Path Tools/Path Edit Tool and move the inner ring so that it is in the centre of the first). Return to 2D Mode. Your pic should now look like illustration 1. (If it doesn't - do check that your Even-Odd fill box is checked in the Path Panel/Options!) 4. Click on Edit/Fill/Gradient - and fill with a gradient of your choice with the settings shown. Note: A gradient with LOTS of colours works best to form defined rings. 5. Click on the Transform Tool/Rotate in Virtual 3D and use your mouse to turn the rings into place (Sliding the mouse upwards on the graphic). Your rings are made! |
