Using gradient blends: Hierarchy

…All the methods I'm gonna be going over in the…detailing chapter all work together. Think of it as a…team. You might use just one method in a project…you're working on, but more likely as you get used…to working this way, you're gonna use all of them…together and that's what this movie's about. I'm gonna show…you how, not only do you use them all together.…It's how you relate them to one another to pull…off certain effects. So if we look at this nose right here, this is just a nose…that I created and pulled from another illustration. All…of these are provided in the exercise files, by…the way. And I want to show you how…I created this nose. Because it looks more complex…than it really is. All this is, essentially is…made up of just a hierarchy of radial and…linear gradients, blend modes. And just layering them…to paint the vectors and model the nose art…from it. And it is simple how I did this, it started off with, we will start with…the bridge of his nose, and all this is,…is just a gradient. Once again we are using…
