TIP FOR EVERYONE: change the white color of the gradient to the color of the object you are trying to put the texture on and change the black color of the gradient to a darker version of the same color from the object you are trying to put the texture on. It would look awesome that way! Anyway - cool video :)

Hey , Why do I still get black grains ?
@sajjadalijanbaz6 жыл бұрын
Yeah but if you use "stippled" the gradient will be converted to black n white

Hey! I've been researching some grain techniques for a while now and this is a simple - but very effective - way to do it, well done! I do have to point out a little detail I usually do that's different from your process: instead of copying the shapes on top of each other, I use a new fill (in the Appearance panel) on each object to do the gradient part. You can select this item and use blending modes, opacity and, most importantly, textures without altering the base-colour fill. This is important to me since I use A LOT of different shapes in the same illustration and if I have to move them around I don't have to worry about the texture or the colour being left behind :) Either way, awesome tutorial, congratulations man!

@elgrandefuzz7 жыл бұрын
Hey John! I can't do any tutorials due to time constrains, but I'll try to come up with something in the future. If you're interested in this kind of texture I advise you to search for something like "Art Deco Textures" - there's a pretty good step-by-step somewhere if I recall correctly. I have come to the conclusion that the kind of texture I was looking for is best made with scatter / noise brushes in photoshop, but you'll have to experiment for yourself until you're satisfied :)

I find changing the Transparency mode to multiply usually works best and then lowering the opacity. Big help though thanks!
@CarlosBehrens3D6 жыл бұрын
Yeah thats right. Sometimes opacity works better. I have even lowered both and got great results

@mborok6 жыл бұрын
Try the pointillize or mezzotint filters under the pixellate menu instead of grain. Grain converts everything to black and white, while pixellate and mezzotint keep the colors (mezzotint introduces black dots also, but setting the blend mode to overlay seems to help). Also, to get a gradient that follows the outline of an irregular shape, add a stroke around the object and apply your gradient to that. As a bonus, you can 1) use the width tool to change the shape of the gradient and 2) convert the stroke into a gradient mesh for more control over the colors.

I've tried this, thanks for the tutorial! But hours of finding how to create this noise/airbrush texture for Illustrator, I felt that creating your own brush with that noise texture in mind is more versatile. It's dosn't play much of the gradient but, I guess it's more of colors.
