Creating Basic Shapes - page 11 |
A sphere will be round no matter what projection scheme is used or how it is viewed. Simply draw a perfect circle by selecting the Ellipse Tool(F7), holding down the constrain key (Ctrl), dragging the circle across the page. | |
To render the sphere: Select the circle and choose Fountain Fill (F11), Radial Fill, and choose the following: Custom, Position 0 = Ruby Red, Position 30 = Red, Position 100 = Magenta 70 percent, Horizontal offset = -12, Vertical offset = 7, Edge pad = 15 |
