Create vehicle designs with CorelDRAW
(The illustrations used are from the creativ collection Butterfly®)
Place design
- Open the desired CAR-SPECIAL® vehicle drawing in CorelDRAW.
- Open Window > Docking window > Objects.
- Create a new layer above the vehicle and place your design on the new layer.
Create a clipping mask
- Click on the white painted area of the vehicle with the selection tool (arrow) while holding down the Ctrl key and select "No fill" in the colour palette.
- Copy the painted surface to the clipboard (Command + C).
- Click on your design and paste the painted area over it (Command + V).
- Select your design elements with the selection tool (arrow). Select Objects > PowerClip > Place in frame.
- Click on the paint area with the black arrow.
- In the layer palette, drag the layer with the masked design below that of the vehicle - done!
Tips
- If your vehicle is not white, copy the paint area again, paste it under your design and colour it in the desired colour.
- To edit your design, expand the layer palette with your design by clicking on the arrow in front of it. You will now see the individual elements of your design and can edit them easily.
- To add more designs, hold down the "W" key and drag them onto the PowerClip (your masked design).
