drawing a 3D similar couch !

[gaftalik]

Hello everybody,

Using Xara photo& graphic designer 10, i wanted to draw a 3 seats couch to look like a 3D shape, that was very difficult until i found a vector shape one and all i could do is to turn it to a 3 seats.
Now that i want to make it black, that was the hardest part, the fill was a bitmap once applying the black color all the 3D effects disappeared, by 3D effects i mean those fills with lighting effects that defines a 3D object so that those pillows look like real.

Any help please ?! i would appreciate it much .

One more question if i am allowed to post it here:
Should i have the talent to know how to draw those lines and effects or that should come with years of practice?
Any Xara link or book that teaches me how to draw like 3D shapes ?

Thank you very much .
