That is pretty fancy shading, Larry!


Nice to see you had time to work on some of the tutorial content this month.

I'm thinking it doesn't make a whole lot of difference which tool you use to make paths, as long as you have total control over the points and point handles, right?

Okay, I have a dumb trick for everyone:

Make a QuickShape, simplify it so it's editable, and then make the straight paths into curved ones.

It can be a very fast way to make complex shapes that look nothing like the QuickShape you began with!





My Best,
