gradient in Illustrator is a simple way to create a gradient in your document. To start, select the gradient tool and drag it to the bottom of the canvas. Then, use the following steps to create your gradient:

  1. Drag one end of the gradient tool to the left or right of the center point of your image.
  2. Use the up and down arrow keys to change how much light and dark color you want in your gradient.
  3. Once you’ve created a basic gradient, press OK to finish creating it.
