Description The goal was to create an image, using Illustrator's Gradient Mesh tool, and to have it all done with a single solid Mesh unit. So this entire image is actually just One object!.

You can see some stages from the work process here [link]

Done in Illustrator CS5

Thanks.
I've tried to stay true to the original ref-photo and yet, the gradient mesh has it's weird effect on the outcome.

Thanks a lot!

Well the Mesh tool is truly worth trying. The technique has very few basic principles to it. After you're on to them, all that's left is finding A LOT of spare time, praying for a faster computer, getting used to seeing spooky vector points in everything you look at, and having repeated dreams about annoying un adjustable curves...
