Objective
To create a vector illustration of a toy of choice in Adobe illustrator
using the gradient mesh tool.
using the gradient mesh tool.
Process
This was a very trust the process project as I had not worked with the gradient mesh tool before and was having low faith in myself but things worked out great. With tutorials, testing and trial and error I managed to recreate the dog’s highlights and shadows realistically to the real toy. I kept each part that I created on separate layers to go back and edit as I found necessary. The background was then created based on the toy’s original packaging. The end result ended up being something I was very proud of after working for a long time on this project.
