How to Do the Cloud Effect in Corel Draw

Add a cloud effect to any photograph.

A cloud effect is a trick on Corel Draw that can make any picture beautiful. Making a cloud effect is simple enough to do and after you do it, you will be able to enhance any picture. All you have to do is choose the correct colors and the right tools to use. Luckily, the menus on Corel Draw allow you to draw cloud effects easily.

Instructions

1. Choose your shape. WIth Corel Draw open, find the Rectangle tool, at the top of the page, and draw a rectangle. Right-click to the square to remove its outline.

2. Fill it in. At the top of the Corel Draw menu, click on the Interactive Fill tool and drag it over your new rectangle. From here, the Fill tool will let you choose the colors that you want to fill your rectangle with. For a cloud effect, you will want light blues and some white shades. From here, adjust the proportions properly (there will be an option on the Color menu that will allow you to add more white than blue or more blue than white).

3. Draw items in the sky. To complete your cloud effect, draw some birds using the Line tool. Connect two small lines to make a V-shape to make the effect of birds flying through the clouds.
