WEBSITE AND WEBSITE GRAPHICS CREATED WITH XARA DESIGNER PRO 6 Download Zipped Tutorial Here is the finished soccer ball with a few embellishments. As I freely admit, it is not entirely vector.

I added a bit of texture to the ball by making a 3D BumpMap of some beach sand with a fair amount of transparency to keep the texture subtle.
