Re: New to Corel draw big question??
If you are OK with using a mask when airbrushing you will understand about using transparent film. What would happen if you could print onto the film and then cut out the bit that you wanted to airbrush, well you can and you also can use paper as well and masking tape. I don't have Corel at the moment but when working in schools as a Graphic Design teacher I used to, so if I can remember, I will try and explain using links. The first one is using Power Trace along with Corel Paint which you would use to create as mask of just an outline: http://www.advancedartist.com/video/powertracetute.html
To create a bitmap mask or remove background colour have a look at this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBtpo5TfrZo
To answer your question on a publication to use I have used none on CorelDraw but I have used the Wow book with Adobe Illustrator and it was great so have a look at this one. All of the Wow books come with a disc so that you don't need to draw everything if you are learning about patterns you just do the patterns saving a huge amount of time: http://www.amazon.com/The-CorelDraw-.../dp/0201886324
Design is thinking made visual.
