Flash draw exquisite vector map: lifelike potatoes

In this tutorial we use the drawing features of Flash 8 to depict a delicate vector image--lifelike potatoes. The procedure is simple and easy to operate, and the effect is excellent.

First let's take a look at the effect of the finished production, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

Now we're going to start making:

Step one: Create virtual lights and potato profiles

1 we still have to achieve a more realistic effect through the virtual lighting. First set the background color to #999999, scene size: 420*200, and then create a layer, called ' light Source ', in frame 7th, press F5 to create a keyframe and draw a virtual light source (shown in Figure 2) with the drawing tool in the upper-left corner of the plot area. This light will determine the shaded area and the high light area of our potatoes.

Figure 2

2 then create a layer under light source named ' Potato ' and then use the Pencil tool and the pen tool (line color for #000000) to draw the potato contour as shown in Figure 3:

Figure 3

3 Create a layer under potato, name ' shadow ', and then use pencil tool and pen tool (line color for #000000) according to the position of the light source, draw the outline of the shadow of the projection of the potato, in order to express clearly, I here with the Red Representative as shown in Figure 4:

Step two: Color the potatoes

Press F6 on the 2nd frame of the potato to create a radiation gradient to fill the potatoes with the parameters, as shown in Figure 5:

Figure 5

Color Block color is: #DDC258 #CC9900 #736017, in the color of the time to pay attention to the direction of light source, the middle of the high light area, the upper and lower side of the shadow area, so darker. So when you're done, you have to modify the range and angle of the fill, as shown in Figure 6:
