Gradient Mesh 

Choose an image of a fruit or vegetable with a white background from an internet image search. Then convert this object into vector shapes using gradient mesh and other advanced illustration techniques. In this project I recreated a red apple I found on the internet. To start I outlined it and then to match the color I used the eyedropper tool. Using a gradient mesh I more accurately placed the colors on the apple and even added in spots to make it more realistic. Over all the project was a bit tedious but a lot of fun learning how to use new tools.
