Mastering the Gradient Tool

Gradient tool icon from Art Tap Fun

Want to add super smooth color blends to your artwork? The Gradient Tool in Art Tap Fun is your secret weapon! It lets you fill areas not just with one color, but with a beautiful fade between multiple colors.

How it Works:

  1. Select the "Gradients" tab in the palette section.
  2. Choose one of the awesome pre-made gradient swatches (like Peachy, Aqua Dream, or Warm Sunset!).
  3. Make sure the Gradient Tool (the one that looks like a magic wand!) is selected in the toolbar above the palettes.
  4. Click on the area in your picture you want to fill with the gradient. Poof! Instant blend!

Cool Ideas for Gradients:

  • Skies: Create amazing sunsets or soft blue daytime skies.
  • Water: Blend blues and greens for oceans or lakes.
  • Magic Effects: Make things glow or look extra shiny.
  • Furry Friends: Add subtle shading to animal fur by using a gradient with slightly different shades of the same color.

Pro Tip:

Pay attention to the direction of the gradient shown in the swatch! Some fade top-to-bottom, others left-to-right. Choose the one that best fits the shape you're coloring.

Experiment with all the different gradients available and see how they can transform your pictures! Have fun creating smooth and stunning color effects!
