I love playing around with the Gradient Meshes in Adobe Illustrator and all of the different exciting abstract shapes and compositions you can create by distorting them!
Even though mesh-based designs can appear rather complex, when you focus on the different aspects of the design at each stage of the process, you can develop your work visually in a more advanced manner, take full creative control over your artwork, and customise it to make it uniquely yours — and that’s what my course Abstract Gradients in Adobe Illustrator: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Organic Vibrant Artworks is all about!
In this class, I share my complete process of creating exciting vibrant abstract gradient artworks by working with the Gradient Meshes in a methodical, intentional and controlled manner, as well as my favourite tricks and techniques of combining solid elements with the meshes by masking them to add more volume, visual interest and detail to the composition.
Gradient Meshes make a fantastic base for creating exciting abstract artworks & designs, which you can use in digital or print design, branding or packaging projects, print out to use as wall art, or sell as print-on-demand products! So don’t hesitate to check out this class and follow along to create your own sophisticated compositions with beautiful colour transitions and elaborate organic distortions and gain an understanding of what goes into creating this type of work, how you can split the process into clear manageable stages and how you can use a range of Adobe Illustrator’s tools to develop your meshes into something intentional and captivating!
