How to make a gradient background in Adobe Fresco

Adding a gradient background to your artwork can add depth and dimension, and it can also be a great way to set the mood or atmosphere for your piece. Adobe Fresco makes it easy to create gradients, and you can choose from a variety of gradient styles to get the look you want.

Step 1: Choose your colors

The first step is to choose your two colors for the gradient. You can use any colors you like, but it is a good idea to choose colors that work well together. You can use the color picker tool in Adobe Fresco to select your colors.

Step 2: Create a new brush

The next step is to create a new brush. You can use any brush that you like, but it is a good idea to use a brush that has a soft edge, so that the gradient is smooth. You can use the brush presets in Adobe Fresco to find a brush that you like, or you can create your own brush.

Step 3: Create the gradient

Once you have your brush selected, you can start to create the gradient. Hold the brush down on the canvas and drag it across the area where you want the gradient to be. As you drag the brush, you will see the gradient start to appear.

You can adjust the gradient by changing the opacity of the brush or by changing the size of the brush. You can also adjust the angle of the gradient by dragging the brush up and down.

Step 4: Add additional colors

If you want to add more colors to your gradient, you can do so by creating additional brush strokes. Hold the brush down on the canvas and drag it across the area where you want the new color to be added. The new color will blend with the existing colors to create a new gradient.

Step 5: Adjust the gradient further

You can adjust the gradient further by using the gradient editor. The gradient editor is a tool that allows you to customize the colors and opacity of the gradient. To access the gradient editor, select the gradient tool and then tap on the gradient preview.

The gradient editor will appear. You can use the gradient editor to change the colors of the gradient, the opacity of the gradient, and the angle of the gradient.

Step 6: Save your artwork

Once you are happy with your gradient, you can save your artwork. To save your artwork, tap on the “Save” icon in the toolbar.
