Step 6Īnother way of creating a pastel gradient wallpaper is by using a mesh.Ĭreate a rectangle that covers your entire artboard and make sure that it stays selected. Pick the Mesh Tool (U) from your toolbar and click in the center of your selection to turn your shape into a mesh. Now you can easily select these mesh points and change their colors as you wish. Switch to the Direct Selection Tool (A) to select the leftmost mesh points and change the color to R=107 G=245 B=202. Select the rightmost mesh points and set the color to R=253 G=225 B=186. Then select the middle mesh points and change the color to R=252 G=128 B=180. With your mesh and the Mesh Tool (U) still selected, add a new point as shown in the first image. Switch to the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the mesh points highlighted in the second image, and change the color to R=235 G=240 B=168. To adjust the position of a mesh point or a mesh point handle, simply click and drag it using the Direct Selection Tool (A). Pick the Anchor Point Tool ( Shift-C) when you want to drag a mesh point handle independently or when you want to click a mesh point and drag new handles. Select it and press Control-G to Group it. Make sure that your group stays selected, open the Appearance panel ( Window > Appearance), and add a new fill using the Add New Fill button. Select it and set the color to black ( R=0 G=0 B=0), and then lower its Opacity to 70% and change the Blending Mode to Overlay. With that black fill still selected, go to Effect > Sketch > Reticulation. Enter the settings shown in the following image and then click OK.
