The Gradient Tool is used to shade shapes with graduated coloring from color to color and/or from opaque color to transparency. On the Tool Box, which is on the Left, choose the Gradient Tool. When it is selected, a bounding box will surround the triangle. With the Select tool, click on the light brown triangular head. In the layers menu, turn off the visibility of the dark part of the head.

Go back to the Edit Menu, click Paste in Place. The layer will turn blue, indicating that it has been selected. Now, we want to paste the dark part of the head in the layer that we created for it. When you look at the head, you will see that the dark part of the head is gone. With the Select Tool, click on the dark part of the head triangles. We want to separate the dark part of the head from the light part.Ĭlick on the + at the bottom of the Layers Menu.
