  Drawing an accordion design.

  Posted by Earl Smith on 5 December 2009 at 11:34

  Im using Corel X4 and trying to make an accordion ( squeeze Box) design. Try to explain what I mean. Starting on the left , lines going up and down like a wave and as I draw to the right the waves gradually get further apart. So the wave is all bunched together on the left side but gradually opening out as you move over to the left.
  Any idea how that is done?

  Thanks for the replies. Im not a member so cant access the tutorial, but thanks for the heads up. I got the answer in the end from Corels forum. `
  Use the distortion tool (zipper) on a straight line for number of waves then convert to curves. Then use the shape tool in elastic mode to stretch the waves. Only small problem is that I cannot control the exact distance between each wave but setting up guide lines solved that problem too.
