Straight line mode - creates envelopes based on straight lines, adding perspective to objects On the property bar, click one of the following buttons: For example, you can stretch an object to fit the basic dimensions of the envelope, and then apply the horizontal mapping mode to compress it horizontally so that it fits the shape of the envelope. You can also change the mapping mode of an envelope to specify how the object fits to the envelope. For more information about the different types of nodes, see Using curve objects. CorelDRAW also lets you delete nodes, move multiple nodes simultaneously, change nodes from one type to another, and change a segment of an envelope to a line or curve. Adding nodes gives you more control over the shape of the object contained in the envelope. You edit an envelope by adding and positioning its nodes. Well, you can "fake" them by putting a light source (desk lamp) under a glass table! And if you do want to invest on a lightpad, it's worth every penny because they make illustration, painting, and sketching a breeze! And if you're curious, I use Wafer LED Dimmable Lightpad.A custom envelope (3) is created from the shape of a vector object (1) and applied to a bitmap (2).ĬorelDRAW also lets you copy and remove envelopes.Īfter you apply an envelope, you can edit it or add a new envelope to continue changing the object’s shape. the laser slider) which make them perfect for beginners!

Unfortunately, the actual post is in Indonesian and I haven't got a chance to do the English version until now! Well, better late than never so let's get started!

I like that I know what my schedule will be for a day or a week, depending on the quantity. To be honest, I love working on addressing! It's pretty therapeutic just me, envelopes, nib, ink, and good music/podcast/audiobook. Oh, nothing like walking down the memory lane! It's been a fun ride to say the least.
