How to make a gradient fill grooves?

Hi everyone!

I want to make an imitation groove ore creasing. How can I make it? I think that you can make a selection and apply the fill? Like DOM methods 🙂

What Fill?

I don’t uinderstand what you are after – could you post screenshots of what you start with and what the result should be?
