Gradients


Using the gradient tool to position gradients

I like this tool a lot…
I can create my own gradients for my favorite colors
I didn’t know how to control the directions or density.
But… now^^… I know how...^.~
It’s great!!!
Thank you!!! Ms. Bein!!!


Using the gradients palette & Making custom gradients

Click either racial or lineal box
Click & drag the color from the swatch or color prism…
And release it on gradient tool
You can add or remove the color, simply drag it out.
You can control the color’s density, too.


Making Gradient Meshes & Using the Blend tool

The Globe… or face…
In order to make 3D effects… like air brushes…
Creating many anchor points by clicking meshes…
When you using the blend tool on white anchor points…
The color will be affected on 4 sides.
If you click on smooth surface… it will only blend on that area.
You can also move anchor points as you need.
