Gradient Mesh is often seen as a tough area to master in Adobe Illustrator. This week we’ve focused purely on beginner content for those who wish to get into meshing but want to know the basics. These aren’t the only tutorials we have on Tuts+, in fact I’d like to share with you many of our others.

By the way, you can find a fantastic selection of Illustrator gradients on Envato Elements. This set of 16 Watercolor Gradient Backgrounds, for example, gives you access to a range of useful, easy-to-use gradient backgrounds.

  • Create Simple Flowers With Gradient Mesh in Adobe Illustrator

    Follow this tutorial and learn how to create beautiful flowers with the help of the Gradient Mesh function in Adobe Illustrator. We will start with the shape of the petal then using the Gradient Mesh we will add the mesh points and color it. After this, we will compose the flower followed by the stamens in the center. For them, we will use a custom Scatter Brush along with the Transform effect and the Gradient Mesh of course. We will continue with adding details on the petals with the help of the Blend Tool, Pucker & Bloat and Transform effects. We’ll finish with adding shadows and trying other color versions. Let’s begin!

Gradient Mesh: Quick Tips

The Gradient Mesh can be a difficult tool to learn. Let us start off with some handy quick tips that will give a solid overview on how to use it and even tame it!


  • Quick Tip: How to Tame the Gradient Mesh

    The Gradient Mesh can be one of the hardest tools to control. Even professional Illustrators can be heard crying out in frustration at its seemingly random actions. You can overcome these feelings of frustration by learning some techniques that will make your job easy and fun. This quick tip will teach you two handy mesh taming techniques that will save you time and help you overcome the “Gradient Mesh blues”.


  • Tips for Working with the Gradient Mesh Tool

    One of the most amazing and confounding tools in Adobe Illustrator is probably the Gradient Mesh tool. Working with this feature allows the user to divide almost any shape into a mesh. Each intersection of two lines (horizontal/vertical) can be colored with a solid color. This tutorial takes a different format than some of our other tuts, and will help you work with the Mesh tool better.


  • Quick Tip: How to Cut a Gradient Mesh

    In my experience, I needed to cut a Gradient Mesh. Looking for the solution on forums didn’t work out for me, so I thought it was impossible! The Knife and Scissors Tool are used for cutting vector objects but cannot be applied to the Gradient Mesh. So I thought that this problem would stay unsolved, but thankfully, that was not the case. As Pushkin, the great Russian poet, wrote: “And the case, the god of the inventor.” Look how easily it can be done.


  • Quick Tip: Create Gradient Mesh Brushes in Illustrator With Mesh Tormentor

    Adobe Illustrator has two great features, Gradient Mesh and custom Brushes. The problem is they don’t work together, even though it would be an amazing time saver. The good news is that there is a plugin which allows you to combine the two and it’s called Mesh Tormentor. Follow this quick tip tutorial and I’ll show you how.
