Hi there and welcome to Gradient Colors.
We are going to work on these ships and take them from playing colors to this awesomeness of gradient
color, and even better, I'm showing a lot of examples here.
None of these guys, if you use gradients wisely and artistically, that can give you extremely good
results if you use them in a flashy way for backgrounds or multiple colors in one shape and stories
like this, it might not look, you know, as beautiful as you could imagine and surely it won't look
like 2021.
But gradients can give you awesome effects.
Let's start learning how to use gradients.
We're going to start by the shape over here.
You need to apply gradient colors, so usually you will come to the field.
That's one way to add gradient.
You can come to the black or the orange, yellow and the sky.
Just apply the first gradient and you will change it.
Now I recommend use the white and black because the other two have some tricks that you will learn about
it.
Let's go for white and black.
This is a very common religion, but this is not our purpose here.
We need to change the colors.
How do you change the colors?
As soon as you apply gradient or as soon as a shape or an implement, an object has a gradient.
You will see the gradient options over here.
If you click on it, you will have the gradient.
It is the same one that you can get from window gradient here.
The shortcut is command of nine.
All control F nine.
You're right, it will happen all in the great impanelled.
The first thing you notice is the colors and some kind of a diamond over here and you have a party location.
So to change colors, simply select a color circle.
It was long time ago a house, and you could double click on it and you can pick your color for this
one.
We are going to pick the yellow and the next color double click on it and we're going to pick the orange
here.
OK, now it's looking very subtle and very nice.
That's one way to change your cars and we are using, by the way, here, the linear gradient by default
is always linear.
You have region and you have the free form, which Sillett.
To edit the gridiron now in a more practical way, you could edit the gridiron over here.
If I click on it, I will edit the gridiron now.
Notice what appeared here.
It is the gridiron tool.
By clicking on edit creating you enabled the gridiron tool.
It is the same as going to the gridiron tool.
Here you are now in the Canadian tool is exactly the same as this bar with more.
First of all, you have the colors.
You can double click on a color and change to the color that you want.
Then you can double click on the other one and do exactly the same change to the one that you like.
You have the middle point, not just the middle point here is more noticeable.
So actually, the middle point here is deciding where the mixing of the yellow and the orange that we
have selected is going to start.
So the mixing is going to start here or even here.
I'll make it very sharp, but in the middle somewhere is nice, you can click on the color and move
it around.
It's also moving with the middle point.
So now you notice the orange is going to be full orange just over here.
And from this color to the end is going to be full orange Samwick and bring this guy over here.
And now we have a very rude line here.
But nevertheless, you get the point.
You can still adjust the way you would like.
So I'm going to put it back over here.
Let's move just over here for simplicity, show you why you have a square.
This square is about stretching the grading bar and you have the rotation is about rotating the grade.
Let's start with stretching and why it's useful.
I click on it and just drag it out.
That's what's happening to the colors.
The color is moving.
The whole bar is getting longer.
And now the start at the end of the colors are in fact, the end of the color is changing.
You can still adjust it over here and have the same kind of result or move it here.
Sometimes it's very useful to use this one.
Actually, it's always useful.
Now, rotation is amazing, you can just come to rotation, so you point and here you are, rotation,
you click and drag.
I guess I'm rotating it.
Notice how the colors are changing according to the points, OK, or the point colors.
And I'm going to put it over here.
Not is that the bar did not stay at the same position where I left it at the center itself in the middle
of the ship.
It makes sense because if it's over here or over here, it doesn't make a difference.
The colors are still in the same position relative to the ship.
The point here or the circuit here, the black circle, you can just click and move it the way you would
like so you can get lots of ideas how to create your gradient as soon as your it is going to center
itself again.
Here you are.
Let's move it over here, for example.
And we have a very nice gradient.
This rotated a bit.
Not bad at all.
This is how to use the bar, of course, you can add more colors if you want to take the shape.
OK, we start with this one, Briskman to good selection tool.
Click on this shape and release and back to the gradient so you can now add your gradient.
I'm going to click just over here, but you can click and draw another bar.
OK, not another about a new bar.
You have the grid, you can do it the way you would like.
May be useful, actually is not accurate unless you have a good idea of what you're doing, that looks
fine for us.
Let's do it this way.
Fact.
Notice I can come here and the arrow will change to a plus, can you see it?
Plus we can add another color.
Of course, add the previous color so you double click on it and you can change to another blatant color.
So I show you the difference, can add more, add one here can come to the bar at the colors here if
you want to look that same colors we're adding.
But nevertheless you don't like a color you can selected and drag it out.
I love this one or is selected and click on the the speed.
I'm going to remove these guys actually I'm going to keep two.
But this is the way to add more color.
Now, depending on your artwork, you can add many colors and so on, but guys don't make it like,
wow, what is this?
OK, make it, you know, smooth.
It's actually we covered a lot of ground already on the great.
I'm going to take this guy here, the small guy here, zoomIn Command or control plus.
And I.
I'm just going to click over here, just click on the bar and double click, I'm going to give it to
White and over here, double click.
I'm going to give it this color here.
Being in the white less.
So not a very nice gradient creating here, very subtle, very refined, beautiful.
Now, I didn't like this car, by the way, I did a mistake here, I don't want these colors.
I want something bluish.
Let's change it.
Double click here.
I want actually this blue.
Yes.
And of course, I want this blue.
That's looks much better.
Even the debate is looking very nice.
Click on the gridiron bar here.
It's quite cool.
Let's do it like this.
And this guy can come over here and come and zero up to now.
We covered the linear gradient and you saw the examples.
So how to make it refined in the next video, I'm going to show you how to work with the radial gradient,
and it's going to be awesome.
See you then.
