Description CorelDRAW X5

Contest entry for the Think Pink V contest. Entirely made with freehand pen tool and basic shapes tool, coloured with fountain fill.

Submission's category: Digital Art > Vector > Conceptual
Contest category: Vector

Hearts are used and abused as a symbol, I know. But I couldn't express light-heartedness in any different way but this. I have never had any serious illness up to date, luckily, but I can imagine how heavy a heart can feel when facing one... and even more I can understand how free it can be, when finally released from its load.

May more and more hearts fly free once again!

Your use of shapes and colors in this fractal is very appropriate.

Thank you so much! It's not a fractal though, it's a vector piece. Corel DRAW is a great program. If you can't afford it, you should try Inkscape, its freeware alternative

I figured it wasn't a fractal. It is still pretty none the less. For me, the big problem for Corel Draw is I can't draw. So I might pass on that.

You don't need to draw!
You have control points you move around to create straight lines or curves, which you later pull together and fill with a colour, gradient, or texture. There's a freehand tool too, but none says you are obliged to use it!

I think I will stick with fractals and manipulations. Thank you for the suggestion though.

As you wish then. I'm still content with having suggested you. Go on!

Thanks to you for organizing!

Be prepared: I'll make at least two entries in the Fractal category too, and I'm thinking about other categories as well. There will be plenty of entries from me for sure.

Thanks If you have time, you should enter the contest too. All that's required is to make something pink, supporting breast cancer awareness. There's a fractal category too, and plenty others. Click on "Enter the Contest" to read the article

Eh, probably not. I really don't have the time. I'm just checking dA when I get a moment. I'll be free in a while, just not right now.
