Adobe Illustrator Mummy Gradient Tutorial.
Gradients seem to be one of the most abused features in Adobe Illustrator. With that said, I thought I’d create a gradient demo, so you can abuse them in a whole new way. You might want to look at my 4 Step Gradient tutorial before you read this demo. Enjoy!
I start by placing my sketch in Illustrator. Go to File > Place and choose the sketch. Since I’m going to want to have easy access to the sketch as I refer back to it, I put it on its own layer.
Then I trace around the outline of the sketch and fill it with a solid dark color. I chose a dark brown because I wanted the illustration to have a old classic monster feel.
