Tool 2: Gradientor

Gradientor

Gradientor is a free-to-use tool for drawing with gradients in a little bit silly way. Draw, adjust and save results as JPGs in up to 4k resolution. Have fun!

This tool uses gradients to create lines on the canvas. Each mouse click a new gradient is made that laters on top of the one behind it creating unique colours and patterns.

In the first image I had chosen colours I liked and the first thing that came to mind was fire. I used the tool to draw out this flame shape.

In the second image, I drew the image first and then changed the colours to match. I used green and grey to represent the grassy and mountainous landscape.

This tool is good for creating ambiguous shapes with colour that can later be refined. It is a good starting point and can generate many ideas.
