So far, the 24-sided star pattern includes flat, solid-color fills. But wouldn’t it be great if you were to add some shading? In this video, Deke does that, using one linear gradient, and one radial gradient with transparency. You can also learn why you might want to set the Overlap option to Bottom in Front.
- [Instructor] In this movie, … we're going to take that seamlessly repeating hex pattern … with its 24-sided stars, … complete with its solid colored fills, … and we're going to add some shading … so that it looks spiffier. … All right, so the first thing I'm going to do … is turn off this pattern layer … so that I'm revealing my drawing layer … in the background there, … and then I'm going to select this guy, … the shape up here at the top, … and I'm going to fill it with a gradient … by going up to the Window menu … and choosing the Gradient command … to bring up the gradient panel right here. … And you want to make sure that it's expanded, … so you may have to click on that double arrow head … in the gradient tab. … And then make sure your fill is active … and that your swatches panel is available, … and go ahead and drag that shade of orange … that begins R equals 251. … Drag it and drop it … onto the beginning of the gradient, like so, … and then grab this shade of yellow … that begins with R equals 252 …
