I was more thinking on the lines of texturing, like a metal look or wood, or whatever. I have a symbol with a graduated fill, and even have one with fractal clouds and messed with moving that around. I do not have the CD, so I do not have fills and clip art and such. So, I have the movies and look at tutorials, but sometimes they mention doing something that I can't seem to manage.

I have improved and found out a lot, but it is frustrating to try to come up with ideas when I am not sure I can do it or not.

I hope to create a planet for one of my backgrounds and that is the next project.
