Step 13

Using the first curved line (step 3) several times to make the handle of the briefcase. From A to B in the picture, use a copy of the line and convert it to a shape. Note that in each step the weight of each line is different so that we can give the impression of volume. In fig. B we add a tiny rectangle to make the end side of the handle.

Step 14

As in step 10, part B; add some extra shines to the upper and right front side of the briefcase. We are almost done.

Step 15

To make the lock, prepare a simple shape out from a circle and a rounded rectangle, using the Divide command (step 4) and add some shines with the same procedure of steps 10 and 14.

Step 16

This last part is also the easiest one. The front plaque can be made from a rounded rectangle with gradient fill as shown in the picture. Make the front part, the back part and add a shine to finish the plaque.

Work is love made visible.
