to look like this USA flag
Done with gradients in Illustrator.
Why anyone would want gradients in illustrator is beyond me.
Anyway, this is what I have done so far... and he doesn't like it.
I've spent about 12 hours trying to get this stupid thing to look right.. What i had to do is make each "gradient section" a different "shape", and make it exactly the right angle to contour with the flag. (IF anyone knows an easier way to do this, let me knowww)
Anyway, the part I cant figure out is... I can do up and down gradients fine (even though it takes forever)
What I cant figure out how to do is the gradients that dont go up and down all the way.
I could do this in about 3 seconds in photoshop, but I'm just about ready to give up in illustrator....
This is what I wanna do in illustrator...
Thanks for any help or advice <3
