Thanks for posting! I love your work and can't wait to try this out... though I have Illustrator 10.... i'll have to see where it varies from CS.

it doesn't vary a huge amount in terms of the skills involved in doing this tutorial. But you won't be able to open the file if u download it.

Excellent step-by-step instructions. I haven't used Illustrator; maybe I'll bust it open and give it a whirl. Thanks for all your time and trouble --AG

Macintosh!

Back demons!! lol
This is surprisingly easy, I expected html download and all that.
But it's times like these that makes me happy I have Illustrator CS. I might just make a bag of Sugar. Thanks Z

hehehee, cool
but remember that a lot of the techiniques used here > mesh gradient, clipping masks etc are all very useful all round skills that can be applied in lots of different situations. Get to grips with them, ignore them at ur peril.

You stay there with your Mac, it is evil...
I just got Illustrator actually, haven't gotten a chance to really get in depth...summer how I yearn for it. lol
"...ignore them at ur peril."
Should I repent also? lol

I didn't even know the mesh gradient tool existed - that's how little I know about Illustrator. I'm certainly going to using this to (hopefully) increase my skills. Thanks!

Oooh, very intersting. Ive been wanting to dabble with vector art for a while now, mainly since seeing a lot of your work, which has made me veeery interested in the technique indeedy. Thankyou for posting the tutorial, ive always wondered how you get a 3D effect vector!

Absolutely wonderful I remember making an apple with the mesh tool, and i just might make a different product for my ID
Thanks for the inspiration!

awesome. One of the great Vector mysteries (of which there are manifold), was what this mesh stuff was. THe most photorealistic vectors I've seen utilized this technique, and I never understood it... until now
