Step 28 December 2002 Xara Tutorial

Apply a Flat, 70% black fill the larger of the two rounded rectangle that make up the shovel. Apply a Linear fill to the smaller rounded rectangle starting on top at 70% and ending with 30%. (Drag the fill path arrow ends so that the fill path arrow is vertical).

Make a duplicate of the shovel handle (Ctrl d). Marquee select the duplicate and change the fill color to 70% black by clicking the 70% black square on the on-screen color palette. Draw a horizontal line about 1/5 of the way down. Select the line and the gray duplicate and Arrange Shapes... Slice Shapes. Delete the bottom portion and center the remaining top portion under the shovel as shown above.

Double click on the fill path arrow to add two additional color stations (b and c) and apply the three colors shown.
