He grabbed the arrow endpoint and stretched the Gradient Annotator to change the
length of the gradient. Miyamoto moved the endpoint side to side and adjusted the
angle of the gradient. He made additional angular adjustments with the circular
endpoint and clicked the center point, then moved it to various positions within the
gradient-filled object. The entire illustration is made of gradient-filled objects with
two very small exceptions; there is one blended object (the pen tip) and one mesh
object (grip area, just beneath the tip). The Gradient Annotator enabled Miyamoto to
have exceptional control of the gradient fills to achieve exacting realism.
