La Puerta Logo step-by-step tutorial

Select the Freehand and Brush Tool. Set the Smoothness slider on the Infobar to 10 for minimal smoothness. Draw a shape similar to the shape shown in the top example in black. Extend the top of the shape above the green mountain shape. Draw some smaller shapes like those shown in pale purple. Select the black shape and the mountain shape and Arrange > Combine Shapes... Intersect Shapes. The black shape will disappear creating a new shape on the mountain as seen in the bottom example.

NOTE: The small shapes shown in pale purple may get lost behind the new green shape (I see that mine did and will not appear after the next two images until the end of the tutorial). Switch to Outline View ( Window > Quality > Outline), select the shapes, and bring them to the front (Ctrl f). Set the View Quality back to Anti-aliased.

Save your drawing and take a short break.
