Creating a Shiny Orb on Corel Draw Tutorial

A shiny orb is an effective design to incorporate on your website or any graphics file. The shinning effect can be made as a button on a web page to give an attractive link and very professional look. I learned creating the shiny orb on Corel Draw when I first installed the application on my computer. It was a tutorial on YouTube and a step by step process on creating the shiny orb. I also use the orb design as my avatar on various forum sites and website. Here’s how to create a shiny orb on Corel Draw.

Create a New Corel Document

 Create and ellipse tool at the base of the orb

Copy the same object and add another layer. Color the first object layer 1 Black

and Layer 2 object colorwhite. Adjust it as shown on the image below

To give it shining effect use the transparency tool

Convert the object to bitmap and add a transparency tool. Properties Linear Normal

Adjusting the color of the main object will give you a different effect

 A very simple steps but effective design I hope you can learn and use the design on your website. You can also visit my other Corel Draw Tutorial like ID layout.
