Ayencbg Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Thanks! I really like how easy it is to control the lines/paths, which I always have a problem with Illustrator. But right now, I'm still struggling in doing gradient w/ AD and I'm sure they have it since the examples that AD has been using are all using it. Just need to look at it more and see how it's done.

Staff MattP Posted November 14, 2014 Staff Share Posted November 14, 2014 Very classy! Nice work :) Gradients are easily added/adjusted with the Gradient Tool - just press the letter G on your keyboard to automatically go to the Gradient Tool :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Very classy! Nice work :) Gradients are easily added/adjusted with the Gradient Tool - just press the letter G on your keyboard to automatically go to the Gradient Tool :) I've seen some unusual questions about using it after this point from those who have not used a dynamic tool like ours before, so might add a little extra... Click and drag on your selected shape to set the gradient path, move around while dragging, it's live. Click on a colour node on the gradient path to select it, then apply a custom colour from the Colour/Swatches panel. Click on the path to add new nodes. Alter the rate of change of colour using the short marker between colour nodes. On the Colour panel, add noise to any point on the gradient using the little switch at the left of the Opacity slider.

Ayencbg Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thanks to everyone that helped and gave pointers on how to use the gradient. It was very helpful. Here's my new illustration. I've actually been going back and forth between AD and Illustrator and so far, I'm liking AD better when it comes to using path/curves.

Sunset Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Nice (as in precise) work here, something I aspire too but I don't have the patience at the moment, so I appreciate your work all the more. You eliminate the detail and keep the identity. It will be nice to see what you do next :) Quote MacBook Pro 11,2, Intel i7 4 core, 8Gb RAM, Graphics Intel Iris Pro. iPad Pro 11.4, 256Gb, 10.5 Retina, A10X Fusion chip, Apple pencil Desktop upgraded to Win10 64-bit, Intel i5 quad core, 8Gb RAM, NVIDIA GefORCE GT730 The Win-10 laptop is on permanent loan to my daughter......

Ayencbg Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 New Illustration. This one took awhile because I was having a hard time deciding what detail I should eliminate and keep. haha. But I seriously need to learn how to organize more in AD. The invisibility option is spoiling me. Freshblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunset Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Very nice work. I understand the decisions of what to keep and what to eliminate! Lovely.
