Detailing the Heart

Now create another transparency-faded gradient like the first, this time for your heart; you should know how to walk through this by now. I didn't make mine quite as translucent; I started off with more opaque color. I also painted a little arced highlight over it using the Brush Tool, and filled it by copying the gradient of the clouds using the Eyedropper Tool before adding a dark pink stroked outline with the Ink Bottle Tool. (You may notice I've also lightened my gradient background--after seeing the "faded" look while inside the Clouds movie clip, I decided I liked it better that way and set about lightening it on the main stage.)
