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. Im going to use Corel X4 but you can use anyversion as no special command used during this tutorial. So lets enjoy making it.

1. First of all take a new File in Coreldraw, Ive taken a Letter Size file (i.e. 8.5 x 11 having

Portrait view).

2. Im going to start from Eyes, so pickEllipse Tool and draw an Ellipse (not circle) and

rotate it a little bit as shown below:

4. Again by using Ellipse tool , draw an ellipse inside previous ellipse and fill it withBlack

color as:

5. Again by using Ellipse tool , draw a small ellipse inside black ellipse and fill it with

White color as:


5/24

6. Now pickBezier Tool and make a triangle as shown below, we are going to make EyeLashes:

7. Its time to convert these lines into Curves, so pickShape Tool and select all three nodesof this triangle, you will see in top Property Panelan Icon will come having the name Convert

lines into Curves, simply click on it, then unselect all nodes by clicking on any emptyspace, now move the lines towards outside to make them in curves, so that you should haveshape like this:

Fill it with Cyan color (C=100 Y=0 M=0 K=0) and give the same outline as we give for FirstEllipse so you may have:

8. Ive made the bottom part by using same technique so Ive this:

9. Select all these shapes and hit + (Plus) key to duplicate or you can move the objects by using

10. Im going to make the Beak of the bird, Im expecting a little bit funny look of the cartoon,

so by using Bezier tool and Shape tool (like we used above) Ive made the beak likethis (it will not look the Beak in the begining but when we will give some detailing then it will be

having proper look):


11/24

Fill it withRedcolor (C=0 M=100 Y=100 K=0) and apply the same Outline Pen properties soyou may have this:


12/24

11. So by using Bezier and Shape tool, Ive given the following details over it:


13/24

12. Now complete the head part by using these two tools so you may have something like this:


14/24

13. Let us make now its Right wing, by using Bezier tool and Shape tool Ive made thewing as shown below, but here we will have another tool, we will be smoothing the edges of two

curves, for this purpose select the middle node between two curves and from top Property Panel

you will find Make Nodes Smooth tool , it will smooth the edges of two curves so youmay have proper shape of your own desire, Ive made the right wing by making different shapesas:


15/24

14. Its time to complete its Body Part, pickBezier tool and draw a rough sketch of the bodypart as shown below:


16/24

again by using Shape tool and converting straight lines into curves we have smoothen thelines, fill it with White color and apply the following Ourtline Pen property by pressing F12 Key

and give the parameters as:

15. So why not making the other parts of the body and also the both Paws, so Ive done thiswork:


19/24

16. Im going to show that this bird is watching its Long tail and feeling proud of it, so Im goingto give the same look as its Wings, so make three Quills of his tail as shown below:


20/24

17. Now we are going to learn another technique and it is about the Power clip (i.e. Masking anyobject into another object). Make two rough parts as shown below:


21/24

We want to put these two shapes inside the middle Quill of the birds tail. So that we should hidethe 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 PowerClip contents should be switched off, otherwise yourobject will go into the center of the Quill):


22/24

So after Power Clip it will look like:


23/24

Do the same thing for other two Quills so we may have our Final Cartoon Bird as shown below:
