The texture of the rubber is v. good. How, please?
Anything else I have to say would also be pointless ...

Well done again Bob. Again, I was the first to download meaning I was the first to destroy....opps, sorry, examine it. Unfortunatly I can't seen to put it back together so I guess you'll just have to do it again.....regards.......frank

Thanks Ron and Frank. Twidder, no, still waiting for the tutorial to appear in this forum.

There is something funny with the ellipese for the eraser, Bob. The shading and metallic quality are terrific but the ellipses look more square than round.

Or was that the point?

Re: Where's the point to this?

Seriously? Or are you joking? If you're serious, I'm not sure which ellipse looks square. Could you show me?

Oops! Slap me, please. Never mind... I get it! Very good, btw.

[and thanks for the rest!!!]

Re: Where's the point to this?

Bob,

I think that the "square" end is very natural. All these pencils I had as a kid started off with a round rubber (eraser) but ended up twisted and gnarled, just like yours.

Mind you, pencils with rubbers ... luxury.

I like it so much. I am glad you start to use layers. And I`d like to add to your piggy bank one more trick.

Egg, it read just fine over here... :D

Valery - that is GREAT!!!!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!! I don't understand one thing, however. How were you able to edit the repeating fill's position? In other words, how did you get the white closer on one side and farther on the other? I only see a profile adjuster that changes the shading (?) but there is no other adjuster to move the bars.
Gotta tell ya - I have struggled with this angular shading for quite and while and tried different ways, but this technique of yours is GREAT!!!!!

Thank you both for the kind words.

Drifter - have a look at this.

Move the nodes around - add and delete nodes, change fill angle.
Have a play.
I'm going for a coffee ...

Hell, I do it all the time.
I ask someone how they do something, then realise 'tis something I do regularly but hadn't considered applying that technique to that particular task. Then feel a right idiot.

Six fill options here ... numer of options available? No-one knows ...

by the way you like a Blend tool. It is possible to do such "fill" with it too.

Yes. I leaned a lot from the fills you used in your girl-with-a-phone image.
I'll be forever grateful for that, Valery.

Excuse me for maybe I was incorrect. I mean that it is possible to do with Blend Tool like I did in my attached file.
Sorry

Re: Where's the point to this?

My file? It is Val's blend, conveted to editable shapes and ungrouped.
I did that so's he'd know I know what he is talking about.
There was some misunderstanding there for a moment re fills & blends.

I really don't know what this talk is about blends - and there IS a blend in Val's work - but I DID learn a TON of stuff from this so far... like this:

Re: Where's the point to this?

Confused I am also.
Just forfun -ungroup one of those blends, select all the lines and arrange: align centre :)
