The gradient tool was one of the harder tools to use as I found it hard to control the amount of blacks, greys and whites that were needed to make the ant look realistic. However, after many attempts of trial and error, I was able to successfully complete half on my ant. This is a useful tool and it will come in handy when creating my poster as if I need to draw something, I can use the pen tool (that I learned to use last week) to outline the drawing and then I can use the gradient tool to add dimension and bring the drawing to life. The gradient tool has definitely made a big difference in my drawing of the ant as if I were just to use solid colours, it would look flat and unrealistic.
