Oh hell yeah, I am a fast learner in illustrator. Love the short and to the point flow of this video. Plus the vibes. Thanks this helps fix my choppy gradients I get time to time.
sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Nash Landon i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Sir, I have been struggling for so long. Gradient meshes weren't doing what I wanted because moving the mesh intersections on borders were throwing things out of whack and free form gradient nodes were not blending how I wanted. Your demonstration of the Draw/Lines in Free Form Gradient was a watershed moment for me. I can now do what I was intending to do. Thank you so very much.
This is such a great tutorial - really concise and informative. I had no idea about global swatches, it's gonna save me so much time and effort!! Thank you :)
Normally I am always the one having dysfuntions with Adobe softwares on my computer. But this time, I didn't have the gradients color switch (to linear gradient) when rotating my shapes like you do in the tutorial. I wonder why but it is rather a good news! Thanks for this great tuto.
Holy crap, I thought there was a bug in Illustrator! I was wondering why my gradients were disappearing after I deselected them last night! Was so frustrating! Thanks for the tutorial!
Nathanial, Dunno if it's my version of CC-2019, CC-2019 as sold….or me. But … I have a hell of a time exporting my artwork with gradients made in cc-2019 for print. Until, two weeks ago, I contracted with another for my large graphics. It was a goat rope…so I was forced to sell the customer out of gradients. I suspect it’s me. Now I am a printer with a brand new Roland 54”. Prints like a dream but I digress. Please do a video of preparing artwork for printing. I know I’m missing something so other must be too! Love your work.
thank you Nathanial! I Knew I could rely on you to have a super awesome tutorial on this new tool! I have been using your tuts for sooo long! your the best! :-)
This is awesome thank you so much! I have a couple of questions you might be able to answer - I'm not having much luck figuring it out or finding an answer! Firstly - Is it possible to edit to reach of a freeform gradient point when it's in a line? Secondly - Is it possible to copy a freeform gradient path and reflect it to apply to the other half of the shape you're working on or to copy it and then apply it to another shape? Thank you! x
DOes anyonehave tips make this freeform gradient print reaady? I hardly can find proper info about this. I see some issues when its being opened in a lower version or other apps
I have Adobe Illustrator 2021 and the ,,Make Clipping Mask" thing just doesn't work, Idk why but it's already driving me nuts, such simple task and it can't just work? Anyone else with the same problem?
No such features on older versions of Ai. Especially CS6. Would love you come up with an alternative method for older versions please. Great tutorial. Much appreciated.
You are my FAVORITE TEACHER!!!! Best ever!
Great tutorial. Thank you for expanding on the subject by presenting a hypothetical client situation. 👍
This has helped me so much.

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR HOW TO MAKE “SOFT BLUR” GRADIENTS FOR LIKE 3 MONTHS TY
amazing
The handmade swatches next to your artboard tells everything about 20 years of underdevelopment of illustrator
This is awesome thank you so much! I have a couple of questions you might be able to answer - I'm not having much luck figuring it out or finding an answer!

Good
Excuse me, do you know how to convert freeform gradient in to vector? It contains a bitmap effect. Maybe there is a plugin for this?
i cant create the link between 2 gradient point as you are doing on the video, everyone help me please ... i'm using AI 2022 version
I love you too
is it available in photoshop?
DOes anyonehave tips make this freeform gradient print reaady? I hardly can find proper info about this. I see some issues when its being opened in a lower version or other apps
Feels really underdevelloped and still a beta version. How can they release it like this and market it???
PS when you rotated you also expanded it, so not editable no more?!
Is there any way to disconnect/cut a long freeform gradient line into two different lines?
I believe you could use the knife/scissors tools for this? Haven't tried it myself so don't quote me on that
I have Adobe Illustrator 2021 and the ,,Make Clipping Mask" thing just doesn't work, Idk why but it's already driving me nuts, such simple task and it can't just work? Anyone else with the same problem?
Alien Glue :D
Am I this early?
No such features on older versions of Ai. Especially CS6. Would love you come up with an alternative method for older versions please.
Great tutorial. Much appreciated.
If you don't plan to update it's your job to come up with alternative methods.
How to use the freeform gradient: use Sketch
You talk too fast and you don’t explain properly what you’re doing on illustrator. I like your photoshop tutorials but not illustrator
Watch in slow motion.
