I was looking for someone who teach me how to work on illustrator, i only found videos 4 or 5 years ago, so after i found you i wish i could put for you 1000000000 likes

The free-form gradient seems pretty neat.
Though what I've been looking for is a way for gradients to fallow the shapes of the path, like having star shaped gradients or square ones.
Is there any way to do that in Adobe Illustrator?
I've been using PowerPoint as a vector graphics software and been considering branching out and getting a proper program but I'm kinda coming to realize just how useful and powerful PowerPoint's clip art functions have been.

I dont see any gradient tools in Properties after I apply the gradient.

[@simecrafter7230]

Gradient just stopped working for me, I don't know what's going on, I restarted the program and made a save file but no matter what I do nothing works

[@smooches-the-deathmetal-bunny]

[@claudioabado3317]

Radial gradients are more finecky than their Linear counterparts...
