Gradient Mesh

The art of gradient mesh is a new technique I have been experimenting with for a little while now. This tool is located within Adobe's Illustrator application.

I have been utilizing this technique in the reproduction/illustration of people. Gradient mesh is a simple but very tedious method of artistic computer illustration. below I have a picture showing my progress on a rather large project. I will probably upload some screen captures later on so you can see what is going on behind the surface of the picture.





































Of course this "After" picture is not a finished product by any means. It is just where I am at in the process of the entire illustration.
