3 Ways to Make Gradients in Procreate!

[@parismarashi]

After 8 minutes you blew my mind. I mean what?! Drawing lines and changing angles?! The three fingers swipe for options!? So much bonus content! I came to learn gradients and learned 20 other things!

[@seeyah3027]

Same! He's awesome

[@megsanmakeup]

I am in tears. I have been struggling for well over a year to color my artwork the way I would on paper but in procreate and I have ran time and time again into the same issue, it not blending or looking they way I want it to. I have always been into gradient coloring and it was so hard to translate it to digital without Photoshop, until now!!! You have changed the game for me and I needed to say something and thank you for giving this information so freely. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@colorwithkurt]

Wow that's great to hear. I'm glad it helped!

[@Scardaddy]

Thank you, seems like a pretty essential tool they left out of an otherwise great program.

[@dnghn.design]

Autodesk sketchbook has gradient tool too

[@knowhere9121]

@@dnghn.design I used sketchbook for like a year and a half when I started out. It was a pain since there was no crop tool, clipping mask etc

[@katethomas360]

This taught me how to create a gradient and like 20 other tricks along the way! Thanks!

[@medialabyyc7707]

I have no artistic ability at all. But I love using Procreate to doodle around. I have a lot of fun with it. Thanks for these tips! I never knew about using your other hand to snap lines.

[@alienolvera]

Don't stop drawing bro!!!!

[@alpines3167]

Kurt - this is the most valuable procreate tutorial I’ve seen to date. Thank you so much man. Not only have I subscribed but I am about to drop the link t your channel to a full slack feed. Amazing stuff. Soo stoked to watch more of your content. Gracias Señor.

[@colorwithkurt]

De nada! :)

[@capneyeball575]

Wow! I wish you had written the Procreate manual. This was so informative and helpful. Thank you 🙏

[@bea_Stellar]

I have no words to express what benefit this discovery was! Thank you. I AM VERY SHOCKED AND HAPPY !!!

[@izabelaedmunds9746]

Wow, so happy I found this channel as I was doing my gradians like a pleb 😂 using painbrush. 😆 Thank you for all the tips. 😘

[@danieldunkley6671]

That’s great ! Another way is to create a selection and gently paint in with a big soft airbrush building up the gradient with each stroke. Thanks for sharing your very cool ideas 💡!!

[@sanchir5960]

Thanks so much for this! I’ve been wanting to use gradients in my stuff but couldn’t figure out how so your video really helped! Great stuff!

[@kapatidnaotaku9376]

Wow, not only you taught the 3 ways of gradient but some other tips in Procreate I didn’t know. Thank you.

[@lanamayberry2639]

I rarely comment on tutorials, but I feel like I have to in this case. This tutorial was so wonderfully helpful -- you explained things so thoroughly. You have a really lovely way of teaching too, thank you!

[@colorwithkurt]

Thanks!

[@HeavyNoodle]

man, for real now, thank you so much. it was like an injection of pro tips, you're appreciated

[@dongonzulman6478]

This was super helpful! Thanks for making it. Also, that HSH S-type looks killer

[@curious-kat]

Thank you VERY much for this easy and understandable tutorial!! I love the X files poster btw 😃👍🏻

[@colorwithkurt]

Thanks. :)

[@GypsyPaz]

Great tips, Thanks man! Although you did go though that last part pretty fast, I'm gonna have to re-watch the end a few more times.

[@Candyroad6arts]

That’s awesome! Thank you for the tutorial. I loved it. I kinda was struggling with that. I have some photoshop experience and it’s way easier to do in photoshop, I just didn’t knew how to do it in procreate.

[@ARTTSvg]

THANK YOU! You just alleviated months worth of frustration.

[@miramarensis]

Great workarounds about a very serious shortcoming. A true gradient tool is sorely missing in Procreate. A real, professional gradient tool will allow the artist to utilize several colors like in Autodesk's Sketchbook version of gradient. I hope Procreate developers really consider incorporating useful gradient tools in their next release. Unfortunately that feature is still missing in 5x. Thanks for the tut!~

[@evgenianeverova482]

Thank you! In addition to being very useful, this tutorial was so nice to listen to!

[@conchapickle5631]

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL, THANKYOU!

[@oneanotherstudios]

Another great video, thanks! I've also seen some people have created gradient brushes, or bought them from somewhere. But the options you've shown work just as well.

[@LeoPerera]

Great video! Thanks!!! Direct and clear!

[@OfficialWEIRD]

Thank you so much for this tip Kurt!!

[@JimmyCjewelry]

Great, loved it. Just have to practice so I don’t forget. Thank you!

[@KittensXxXx]

Thanks so much! When 5X update came out, I was sure they would add a basic gradient tool, but still nothing! Subbed! Excited to go through the rest of your content 😄

[@chihiro3377]

So helpful! Thank you so much. I used to blend color with smudge tool and it was so tiring lol

[@parismarashi]

You rock! I learned so much in only 3 minutes. Thank you!!

[@Lilianx6]

Thank you so much!! Literally what I've been looking for/struggling with! Appreciate it!

[@JudithTellefsen]

Hi Kurt, When I'm drawing a squiggly line and hold at the end, the line doesn't automatically become a straight line. Do I need to turn on a feature? Thx

[@prairie_sage]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you SO much

[@goldennugget75]

Thank you. This has been very helpful for someone like me who is new to procreate. Also I love your drawing of the lightning girl and was that an elf or a goblin?

Thank you! This was super helpful !

[@susanedwards3513]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!

[@DetectiveStablerSVU]

I'm confused on what you did when you used the automatic selection. It looks like it automatically painted out the gradient overlay when you picked the different areas, but I didn't see you do anything that would do anything to remove the gradient from my understanding. Great video btw def keeping an eye on you haha

[@colorwithkurt]

Thanks. Can you post a timestamp to that so I can see what you mean?

[@katharinafiedler3191]

This has helped me immensely!! Thank you so so much!!! :)

[@birthabilityuk208]

Hi, thanks for your great video. Do you know why gradients always show up as lines when you print? I wonder if there is a way of creating a background with a gradient that is smooth with no lines. Thanks in advance.

[@CrimsonArcturus]

Screens and printers alike are only capable of displaying colors within a certain space, typically unique to each model of display or printer. On a gradient, you get those abrupt lines because the device is incapable of displaying/printing the colors that would have normally transitioned between them.

[@swampcow60]

Thank you so much for this!

You are welcome.

HI Kurt. I have tried over and over to create a neon effect with text and other objects. I can’t find a way to get it right. Any tips please?

[@AthenacarterOfficial]

You’re the man! I’m drawing a Lamborghini and the gradients/reflections gotta look right. Thank u so much. I subscribed too bcuz your art looks awesome and those Spider-Man posters tell me you’re wise beyond your years. 😂

[@diegodematteis9917]

Thanks!!

[@timstout4034]

Brilliant. Thanks you!

[@therandom802]

This was helpful. But what is amazing is procreate didn't give users a more straightforward way of making gradients. Considering how useful they are and how often they get used it should be a tool by now, it's almost 2021!

[@hirakamran-x1c]

Really helpful

[@sivakumarr7123]

Hi thanks for to the point tutorial, Still I have doubt, how do we two Color gradients without the white Color....? Pls help

[@WalrusMilk]

Great stuff, thank you!

[@Spoonsies_]

I can’t use feather before selecting an area. I’m trying to do the ombré gradient, but I can’t. Any help?

[@colorwithkurt]

The new version doesn't seem to let you... I hope it's a bug.

[@jonathanbaily]

Holy Sh*t, I just drew dark Orange on the lower two thirds on my canvas cause I wanted to make a "This Is ..." Playlist for my Spotify and I open this tutorial and he does the same, in the same color tone!!! I'm freaking out a bit here! What are the odds! I mean it's exactly the same tone and placement ...

[@mrsnapple5827]

DUUUUDE! I want your room!!!!

[@Techno-Universal]

Pretty much being able to do gradients would be essential for if you are a graphic designer who mainly specialises in simplistic but well engineered graphics! :)

[@colorwithkurt]

Sure! This is more for the artist that doesn't need pixel perfect gradients.

[@Techno-Universal]

@@colorwithkurt Yup though of course I’m hoping I can make the gradients as pixel accurate as possible since the precision of the pixel dimensions of objects are extremely important for my applications so I can have perfectly symmetrical and centre aligned elements in the images! Though pretty much to me making them perfectly straight to a certain angle like vertically or horizontally is pretty much the most important thing so it doesn’t appear to be off alignment with the objects that have the gradients! :)

[@MadnessIsRising]

Great video, thank you so much! :)

[@HappyMrGhost]

can you make a selection in Procreate without it antiailiasing? or do you still have to do your flatting on photoshop?

[@HappyMrGhost]

@@colorwithkurt thanks, will try make one. Hopefully they add in the feature soon.

[@DeeJayArt001]

Quite useful

[@astro2387]

How do you drag with a finger

[@kendallhils2854]

How come when I try to draw the circle the square legit like has the long slanted grey and white lines. My screen does not stay blank. Idk what I’m doing wrong. I feel like all digital stuff is so frustrating and never simple for me 😭😭😭😭

[@michaelthompson4109]

Is there a way to make a gradient with a intentional gradient banding? Say i want a blue to white but only using 6 colours?

[@mreozbay]

Thanks for tut. However Procreate force users to Very odd ways for obtaining a simple gradient fill. I cant believe Procreate wont add a gradient bucket. Like Photoshop, infinite painter, sketchbook etc. Thats why i use infinite painter or sketchbook.

[@altaclase5762]

which is the spanish equivalent to "motion blur" ? ( a tip for you, tray to show the clicks yo do for the not English speakers can imitate the commands)

You could. Just start on an empty layer.
