ai flat gradient illustration-how to create AI gradient effect?

How to create the texture of AI illustrations

To prepare the drawn flat illustration, open the three windows of appearance, transparency and gradient in AI;

2. Select the yellow background, CTRL C to copy, CTRL F to paste, and change the fill color to a black and white gradient

3. Select fx-texture-grain at the bottom of the appearance window

4. In the transparency panel, select Overlay as the blending mode and change the transparency value

5. Select the character's top, copy and paste the same steps, change it to radial gradient, and set the blending mode to Multiply

6. Add noise to other parts at once, and the whole picture will be very textured. How to use AI to make illustrations

AI drawing illustrations is still very interesting, but the proposition is relatively broad, and I don’t know what the students want. Style? Line type, color, gradient, flirtatious and flirtatious~~ So I will post one I made before.

As for this kind of fresh illustration, I am too lazy to use my brain, so I will copy one: you will understand after reading it!

1. Draw the lawn in AI - foreground

Just use the pen tool!

2. Draw land

3. Draw trees. There are irregular shapes here, so just follow your own wishes

4. Middle-ground trees and stones

5. Draw a bridge. Here you can draw a rectangle first, and then cut it with a semicircle

6. Train, draw a rectangle. Use the direct selection tool to adjust the upper anchor point, click the anchor point, and drag the origin point to convert it into a rounded rectangle.

7. Copy the rounded rectangle and it will be ok, then draw a semicircle and place it above the black bridge

8. In the path finder, select Minus Top Level

9. Repeat this step

The bridge and truck will appear

10. Draw a rectangle for the truck

11. Use the pen tool to draw the mountains in the distance

12. After the basic shape is drawn, we fill it with color

Give the background color a gradient

13. Fill the foreground and middle ground colors respectively

14. Now we still draw the shape of the details first

Start with the mountains

Use the pen tool to draw three different colors;

15. Then draw the shadows and highlights of the middle ground

And copy the train layer, Fill with a light color and place the lower part of the original layer as the highlight on the edge of the train

16. Background stars and halo

Use a hexagon for the halo and adjust its transparency.

There are many ways to make stars, including prisms, octagons, and pentagrams

The gradient line in ai can be made in the line segment window Selection

17. Add light perception

Use the circle tool to draw a circle

Select Gaussian Blur in the effect

18. Grass Also add an ellipse to the top, also give a Gaussian blur effect, and adjust the transparency to coordinate

Finished!!!

AI illustrations are nothing more than these tools, the most important thing is the color of the picture. Coordination of graphic proportions

The richness of the picture is different, but the basic principles are the same! How to create the gradient effect of AI?

Use AI and compound path gradient: lt; gt; middle is the shortcut key;

Select the object to make a compound path lt; Ctrl 8gt; (you can understand it as making An object, convenient for filling color and other operations)

Switch to the gradient tool and fill the gradient <.gt; or click on an existing gradient from the color palette and select Radial Fill in the gradient panel (For the color blocks at both ends of the gradient block, you can drag the ideal color from the color palette palette to the color blocks at both ends of the gradient palette)

Use the gradient tool to drag and fill the gradient:
