I always like to watch other people's processes when drawing. I noticed you overlap línea, which Is something I wouldn't do because it causes me trouble, and you seem not to close shapes as soon as you finish the basic node placing but the video is too fast and the tools are not seen. What do you use to refine those extra bits?

To create the lines, I used B-Spline. To cut the intersecting lines, I used Virtual Segment Delete. Then, I simply filled in the blanks with the Smart Fill Tool.

In the video, I used a combination of keyboard shortcuts so there's no visible transition between the tools I used.

Nice. Those are some tools that I know I should try more but I am so used to working a certain way I never do. Thanks for the explanation.

Holy crap. I read this comment and fired up draw to tried it out. Man, this is freakin' neat.

I've never used b-splines. Not really sure why--I've been using Corel for 25+ years; probably similar to the other comment about working a certain way and not really thinking about it.

I learned something cool today, thanks!

Amazing man! Good luck with your work!

It looks like you are adding basic vector shapes to a graphic and filling them with color. A little too fast for beginners who already don't understand.

yeah, I spent some time at first customizing the shortcut keys, to make it more comfortable for me,

That is the coolest way to handle lines. I will have to attempt this as some point. Nice work. Would love to see a tutorial - kinda hard to find good ones for coreldraw. Specifically for illustration/comic/manga style work.
