Start.
This is my second video tutorial and this time we are going to recreate a ladybug from a stock photo. This tutorial will again emphasize on the use of the pen tool, as well as the importance of determining highlights, shadows and midtones. This is pretty much a part two of my first video tutorial. Again, you might wanna visit these previous tutorials: Fireworks Basics and Fireworks: Color, Gradients, Transparencies for a referesher. Here’s the original picture by the way.
And this is the final picture made using Fireworks. Since it’s vector graphics, you can resize the image without pixelating.
Watch the video tutorial (Howcast):
You can also watch the tutorial at Veoh. I’ll try to upload a three-part video on YouTube as they only allow 10-minute videos.
Here’s the .png file from the tutorial. Download file. (right-click, then save as.)

Like what I’ve promised, here’s a tutorial on highlights, midtones, gradients and overlay. It’s my first video tutorial! This tutorial uses the pen tool - you might want to read these two previous tutorials on Fireworks, before you proceed if you’re not comfortable using the pen tool.

Howdy everyone! As I’ve mentioned in my previous post in this series, we are going to discuss colors, gradients and transparencies in Fireworks. Open your fireworks and create a new document. Create an ellipse using the ellipse tool found on the left side. To create a perfect circle, press and hold SHIFT while creating the ellipse.
Now look at your properties panel. It should be just below your drawing area, if you can’t see it, press CTRL-F3.
On the leftmost part, you can adjust the objects size and location on the canvass. Straightforward. Next set of icons allow you to change the objects color fill as well as fill type. Read the rest of this entry »

Hello everyone! I hope everyone’s doing fine today. I will be starting my first tutorial series on graphics. I use Adobe Fireworks – very easy and intuitive in my opinion. I will be touching on the basics of the tools available for us. In the succeeding posts, we are going to know them more intimately.
I draw with vector graphics. You can google vector graphics to get a grasp of what it means as opposed to raster graphics, but all in all – vector graphics is considered lossless – because transforming (enlarging, zooming) vector graphics will not cause the unsightly blurring that happens with raster graphics. You can create any graphics of any size that you are comfortable with, and resize it later without fear of losing any clarity or detail. As such, I will be discussing with you several vector tools. Open fireworks and create a new document. Pick any size and choose white as your background. On the left pane, you should see a couple of icons.
The first set is your selection tools. It allows you to choose the objects that you’d like to work with. The next set are involve with bitmap (raster graphics), Read the rest of this entry »

Hi there and welcome! I am an accomplished gamer, programmer and web designer enthusiast, an artist interrupted, a budding entrepreneur, and now a blogger.
