APPLYING GRADIENT AND TEXTURES FOR 3D EFFECT
To make your emoji look more exciting and 3D, you can apply gradients and
textures. These effects will make your emoji pop out and look more realistic. A
gradient is when two or more colours smoothly change from one to another. It
makes things look like they have depth or light on them, and it can make your
artwork look more real or 3D.
For example, a gradient could be a colour that starts dark on one side and slowly
turns lighter on the other side, like the sky turning from night to day.
Textures are patterns or designs that make something look like it has a certain
surface or feeling. For example, a texture could look like smooth glass, rough stone,
or even soft fabric. Textures can make flat shapes look like they have a real surface
you can almost feel, even though they are just pictures. Textures can be natural,
like the feel of a rock or tree, or artificial, like a repeating pattern of dots or squares.
To apply gradient and textures in your emoticon, follow these steps:
Step 1 Draw a circle shape in the drawing area.
Step 2 Move the circle layer above the emoji.
Step 3 Go to the Layers panel.
Step 4 Click on the vertical three dots of the circle layer.
