Fireworks Tutorial: Draw a ladybug from stock photo

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.
