To the users of the illustrator software for detailed analysis to share the grid tools to draw a beautiful Arctic light effect of the tutorial.
(1) First look at the final effect:
Now let's start making it.
(2) Select the "rectangular Tool" in the toolbar and draw a rectangle of moderate size in the plot area.
(3) Select Menu "Object > Create Gradient Grid", in the pop-up dialog box, set "row number 1, column number 1", click "OK" button, so that the rectangle into a simple gradient grid, on the basis of which we can add more details, create a variety of gradient effects.
(4) Set the 4 "anchor points" of the gradient grid to black or darker background color, using the direct Selection tool in the toolbar to move the anchor point, the Convert Anchor Point tool adjusts the curvature of the line between the anchor points, alternately using the two tools until the shape shown in the diagram is adjusted.
(5) Select the Grid tool in the Toolbox to click at the edge of the gradient grid and adjust the anchor position as shown in the figure. Add only one curve at a time and click on the previous curve. Do not add arbitrarily inside the gradient grid to avoid unnecessary unpredictable lines and anchor points.
(6) In the newly added curve, click again, you can produce a new curve and anchor Point, set anchor point color, such as the figure RGB "181, 220, 215" respectively.
(7) Continue to add the details and set the anchor point color is "22, 108, 125". The point here is, why start with a minimalist gradient grid (that is, a gradient grid with only 4 anchor points), because the shape of the object is roughly shaped from the outset, the anchor position and curve shape that you added and edited previously will affect the anchor position and curve shape that you want to add later.
(8) Continue to add details, and set the anchor point color is lighter, darker and constantly alternating to shape the shape. Add some new colors as appropriate. To add some change.
(9) Continue to add details, and adjust the anchor position and shape, for the next step to add more details to lay a good foundation.
(10) When adding a background, if you create a new layer as the background, the Arctic light and background will have a clear boundary, it is very unnatural, so here in a different way to add the background.
(11) Add details at the sides of the Northern lights, then move the outermost anchor point one at the edge, and adjust the anchor point color at the edge to a darker background color. In this way the Arctic light and background between the natural excessive.
(12) Continue to add details.
Well, the above information is a small series of users of this software illustrator to bring the detailed grid tools to draw a beautiful Arctic light effect of the tutorial to analyze the full content of sharing, You see the users here Small series believe that you see the users here Small series believe that everyone is now very clear the production of the tutorial, then you go to follow the small series of the above tutorial yourself to draw beautiful and beautiful Aurora Bar.
