Gradients are a powerful tool in Illustrator. They can be used to create a range of effects, from simple linear gradients to more complex curves. To warp a gradient in Illustrator, you first need to create the gradient itself. To do this, select the gradient tool and click on the Gradient button. Then, select the desired color from the Gradient palette and click on the OK button. Next, you need to create the source line of your gradient. To do this, select the Line tool and click on one of the lines in your gradient. Then, drag it to a new location within your document. You can also use the arrow keys to move it around. Now that you have your source line created, it’s time to start creating your gradient’s colors. To do this, select the Colors tool and click on one of the colors in your gradient. Then, drag it to a new location within your document. You can also use the arrow keys to move it around.
