How to Draw the Cartoon SunLearn how to draw the symbol of warmness, light and prosperity as it’s something lots of people would love to have their web design be associated with.



Create a new file ( File>New ) of 200×200 px and 72 dpi with the white background.

Next create a new layer, choose Ellipse Tool (U) and holding Shift draw a circle.

    The way I see it with the ever changing news its hard to keep up to date on current facts. Most of these commenters arent taking into effect the change of the global economy and how much of a different it has on news technologies / medical growth / economic / political issues. But anyways nice read, defiantly enjoyed your post. Found your blog on google search engines btw… most people always wonder how people are finding them.

    Hi, this is a very helpful page! Unfortunately when I try to add an ellipse to my sun, it only shows up as a white oval on top of the sun as opposed to a shiny effect. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
    Thanks so much!

    This is known that money can make us independent. But how to act if someone has no cash? The only one way is to try to get the loans or student loan.
