BHINDZ

I don’t have any gift if it’s about drawing since i’m in kindergarden until now. Every time i draw something, the result would be terrible. Even there’s some cool software for drawing or image editing such Photoshop, Illustrator, or Core Draw, i rather stay away because it’ll make me confuse as soon as i run the software

For some reasons, few days ago i want to make a wallpaper that can be used with black background desktop. Before i realize it, i already in front of computer and daring myself to draw something using Corel Draw.

I petrified as soon as i run the software, as usual. After spending a lot of time glaring at the monitor, finally i decided to make a new bhindz logo. For a start, i search a font that suitable of letter ‘it’ that will be connected. The one i choose is this one:

Soon after, i wandering around aimlessly about how to connect those letter. I tried many things (trial-and-error for more spesific) and turn to be fail. It took me a very long time to realize that i have to break some points before i can connect points in one letter to another one, how stupid . For now, the result look like this:

The basic shape for the logo is done, the next thing to do is to make it fancier. I tried some effects such as contour adn perspective but the result was quite weird.

So i added a thick orange circle surrounding the basic logo and gave it tinted greyscale effect to make the contour darker.

At first i want to stop right there. But after take another look it seems that i can still make it a little bit better. And then i dare myself again to try some tips and tricks i have read (i forgot the source) to make object have a glossy effect. I made the orange circle thinner than adding a solid orange circle with gradien effect on the lowest layer. It make inner circle became dark silver-like color. After that i added a white object with transparent effect on the half-top region of the circle to complete the glossy effect. The final result look like this:

I satisfied with the result, althought i’m sure it’s might be still a terrible one. But at least it’s the first i have a “not bad” judgement for that logo in my mind, hehe. For readers that alreader expert at something like this, feel free to give some comments, suggestio, or tips and tricks for a newbie such as myself
