jmwolv Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I'm new to paint.net and have'nt done much art work. I need to create a flyer for my daughters new business. This involves drawing a bunch of diferent coloured balloons, i've tried using the elipse tool for this but does'nt come out very balloon like, is there an easy way of doing this? All so i will need to print text over the image, is there likely to be any problem when i come to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) For a balloon-like oblong, use the Ellipse tool with Shift key held down to make a circular shape. Bisect it with a rectangular selection. Pull the bottom-center adjusting nub down with the Move Selected Pixels tool. http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/7380/balloon01aa.png Edited October 5, 2010 by Sarkut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Adding on to Welshblue's excellent answer, an alternative to the Oct/Quad Reshape/ Matte plug-in is Powerstretch. In the plugin demo, see how a ball is stretched into an egg. (What is the bobble/valve/throat/nubbin/tusket on a balloon really called?)

Pixey Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 @Sarkut and @Welsy - I wish I'd seen this before I composed my last balloon piece Your tips are great. @Ero - is the answer a knot?
