Firework MX Tutorial-Candles

Tutorial candle Practice, in fact, someone has been using vector software illustrator has done a tutorial. In this, I just simplify the process to use firework to complete once again, hope to use firework friend also can do.
1. Create a new 400*600 file with black canvas color. Make a rectangle with the rectangle tool and fill the gradient.

2. Make a white oval, adjust the position so that it is aligned with the rectangle. Select the ellipse and rectangle, select commands: Modify-Combine paths-union, and reuse the gradient fill.

3. Use the Pen tool to add the nodes appropriately, and then use the Subselection tool to adjust the position and curvature of the nodes and adjust the shapes to the shape of the candles.

4. Make an ellipse, fill the ellipse gradient, adjust to the appropriate position of the candle. Copy the ellipse, narrow it down to about 40%, adjust the position, fill the heart, and feather.

5. Make a rounded corner with pen tool, fill with white, and feather.

6. Use the Pen tool to do rushes, and fill the gradient color.

7. Make an ellipse with an elliptical tool, and use a partially selected tool to convert the top of it to a sharp angle. Fills the light yellow and selects the edge to be properly feathered. copied, and narrowed, filled with white, feathering.

8. Make an ellipse, fill the gradient, put on the top of the rushes layer, Gaussian blur.

9. Make four ellipses respectively, adjust the position, fill the heart color. The Gaussian blur, the numerical value is larger.

10. Add a mask to the candle body to fill the black and white gradient, resulting in an implicit effect.

In this way, the candle is basically done. The process is not complicated, as long as the pen tool is more familiar to be able to. The purpose of this tutorial is also to better understand the meaning of the firework path.
