The Planet Jupiter
Alright, today I'd like to post another of my computer task. My class were given the project of making an outer space object using CorelDraw. So I decided to make the planet Jupiter and its moon Callisto. I make this using the Fountain Fill tools and the Texture Fill tool. The result I must say is satisfactory if compared to the real Jupiter. However, considering the limited capabilities of CorelDraw, it is quite nice I'd say. That's why I was very happy with this work. Okay, now I'd like to tell you how I make this picture.
The first thing you need to do is finding the picture of Jupiter (or any other planet you wanted). Then, make a sphere and copy it many times. Then look back at the planet's picture. In this case, you'l see that there is some layer in the planet surface (it was very noticeable). The objective was to recreate this layer using the techniques I was just about to explain.
This is the method I use to make a layer. First, select one of the spheres. Then use Texture Fill to insert the texture that is most similar to the planet layer's texture. Make sure you select the right color for each of the textures elements. You may need to experiment over and over to get the best matching result. After that crop the texture from the sphere, taking only the part you'l need to create your layer. Repeat the process until you had all the textures you'l need. Also, make sure that some of the parts are overlapping each other (not to much just a little).
After that select one of the sphere. Use Fountain Fill to make color layers according to the planet layer's color. This will become the base to the planet picture. Then select the each of the layer that overlap the layers besides it. Give transparency to these layer. Than put all the layer to the base sphere, with the layers without any transparency first. Then put the layer with transparency. For the moon, simply make a sphere that were given texture fill. For the space backgrounds, again use texture fill. Okay that's all. I hope this article is useful.
