cjmcguinness Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Here's a quick tip for making that teardrop shape... Draw your circle and fill it with a radial gradient, of some colour. Then crop to the dimensions of the circle. Like this... Then use the Octagonal Quad Reshape/Matte plugin. Select 'Reshape' keeping it at 4 control points. Drag both the top left and top right control points to the top centre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I like the methods Madjik & cjmcguinness. a bit too "fat" for my taste. But much easier to make and you can stretch em. Did this a while ago.. If I remember correctly, I think I draw an Ellipse then the 2 lines.

cjmcguinness Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 a bit too "fat" for my taste. For my method you could always start with an Ellipse rather than a circle. It wouldn't come out as 'fat' then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oma Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 OK so you wouldn't beleive me if I tried to explain how I was trying to use that plug in. kept checking off the same boxes reshape and 4 and OK nothing happened gave it up as a lost cause so I went out shopping came home and give it one last shot why didn't some one say you move the wee little nobs on the plug in. oh well live and learn. looks like an awsome plug in I'm going to be using quite a bit. thanks Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Madjik ... For this application I'm working on I'm going to use the plug in but I like that tear drop using the wingding will keep that one in mind for future use. : what size text did you use? I can only get 72 largest and the one you posted looks much larger? did you just resize? without loosing any definition?
