In today's video, I will be showing you guys how to make a gradient background for all your art, like your cartoon heads or whatever you want to use it for. So without further ado, let's jump right to this video. Okay, first thing you want to do, you want to go ahead and pick your background color with your rectangle tool. So make sure your rectangle tool is selected. Find the color you want to use for the background. Let's say I want to use green. Okay, what I would do is I would drag that rectangle tool over the entire picture. After I do that, I lock that layer, create a new layer right above it, and then I come over here to my swatches and select Super Soft Black Vignetti, if I said that right. Well, just this, click this, and then while you still got your rectangle tool selected, all you have to do is drag that over the color that you chose. And now you got the little effect right here, and that ain't it. What you want to do while you still got it selected, you want to come over here to your gradient tool map thing, and then you want to switch these colors until you find the color green bit. So we're just going to keep going to each little point right here. Each gradient slider, that's what it's called, and drag these colors until we make them all green. And you see how it fades into a dark green, you know what I'm saying? So let's go ahead and tweak this color a little more, so the fade to be perfect. After I do that, what I like to do, I like to come over here to the side to my gradient tool and select that, until I get this option right here. Once I get that, that's when I make it fade better, you know what I'm saying? I pull this in some, and I also make my circle a little wider so I can make my fade go in smoother, you know what I'm saying? And then I lock that layer, and you can save it. They supposed to hit export, export as, and I use PNG files always when I'm saving my artwork, you know what I'm saying? And there you go. That's how you make the gradient background. Let's try to find it real quick. Here we go. Gradient background. That's how you make the gradient background in Adobe Illustrator. Make sure you stay tuned, or he coming soon or I might be dying.
