We Don't Need to Test Since We Already Know

Select the ends of the curve of half of the inverted S (and remove the excess nodes if you have any!) Do Ctrl + J to duplicate easily In the contextual toolbar, do the action “Connect the curves” then “Close the curve”: half of the inverted S is done too! Same as the other, I advise you to place it at the bottom of the other layers. To see it better, you can color the two curves created by reversing Line and Fill for example. (I trust you, you will find out how to do it  Select the ends of the curve of the bottom half crescent and remove the excess nodes (if you have any) No need to duplicate this time since it's the last piece we need. Clean up by removing the ends of the curve that have not been used.

You can fill the different pieces with different colors if you want, for fun I did it so you can see the shapes we created. Finally, we come back to the two circles duplicated before the XOR steps: Place (if not already) the small circle layer above the large circle layer in the layers panel Select both circles Click on the button of the Boolean image manipulation service operation "Subtract" Place the resulting curve below the curves obtained with the XOR and fill it with a color. Tadaam! Long live the rainbow Compound: non-destructive Boolean operations …and why we won't use the compound here. Compounds provide a flexible approach to creating shapes from separate objects using Boolean operations. Creating a compound is a non-destructive operation, which is not the case when connecting objects. This means that a compound can at any time be completed or "exploded.



You can also delete and edit compound objects without restriction, if and when you want. Objects in a compound interact with each other based on their individual compound mode. You can change mode at any time; each mode can be previewed in real time at the time of selection. Serif Help Site So, what is important to remember here is that these operations are non-destructive: we will use it mainly in a research phase, when we need to test different combinations, different effects,  Now, here,  what the result will look like; and that's also why it was necessary to analyze the model at the beginning The use of the compound, in our case, adds steps… but you are free to test what it gives with eheh! Step 5: add gradients We therefore have a circle made up of 4 curves: the green half-crescent, the pink crescent, the blue crescent (which is in fact the complete ring at the bottom) and half of S in yellow.
