Meet Miss Red Eye (please don't comment the name I didn't have any other ideas!). I made her in Mr. Wayments' class. For those of you who don't know, Mr. Wayment is the DATA ELAR teacher for both honors and GT. On the right, you can see the original work I did in Mr. Wayments class. The reason behind the long name is because we were learning about Greek and Latin roots. Below is my monster that I made with Adobe Illustrator. I used a special kind of gradient for both the eyes, the legs, and the shirt.

The gradient used for the shirt is called "Freeform Gradient" which is when Adobe Illustrator colors it in for you. You can edit or change the colors if you don't like what Adobe Illustrator gave you. I was quite happy with what Adobe gave me, so I only changed the angle of some of the colors. This type of gradient was incredibly useful and fun!

                  Radial Gradient!

 For the legs and eyes, I used the "Radial Gradient". The Radial Gradient makes the color closer to the middle come out as a circle. It doesn't have to always be white of black. You can use any color you'd like! The cool part about this gradient is that it seems to blend in so easily with the other color. For example, if you look at the legs, you can't tell when the orange starts and when the white stops. With the eyes, it's a bit more visible.
