Satin Finish

Written by Jeff Harrison

A user in the public forums had an interesting question about how to create a satin/silk look.

Look for a video I had made early in the thread. Brian had an interesting idea that I also explored (the gold example).

    Heyy
    I recently bought your gold factory tutorial, and it is amazing! 🙂
    I am a complete beginner in corel draw, I used the images that you had already provided in the pack and finished the tutorial easily.
    However, I would really like to know what do you mean when you say that the vector shapes are filled with 50% grey?

    I'm sorry for posting here.
    This post is irrelevant to this blog post, but I didn't know how else to contact you.

    Thanks
