Illustrator Gradient Mesh - realistic vector illustrations

[asgharjigar]

what a waste of bandwidth

[mojama7]

great but too fast

[creamofbeats]

This video is way to fast! Who can keep up with it? Please slow them down and add some sound.

[mankeisham]

thank you! its very useful.. i know that

and i don't mind no audio.. i just need to look at the screen most of the time..

but still.. i think it is way too fast...i needed to pause --->play---> rewind---> play ---> rewind ---> play to make sure one step....isnt' it too much rewinds for 1 step?

[anivad55]

Thanks for your effort rotbed but it would have been so much better with audio

[Militia7]

[cubillingui]

why do stupid people watch things they don't want to see???

[mtdw]

i'm a marine biologist this tutorial was very useful

[GeorgeFeathers]

No sound and too fast for your average punter. All resources are better than no resources though so thanks for posting.

I've been using Illustrator since 1988 but have only been tentatively experimenting with the gradient mesh tool in the six months or so. Since I have 2 decades of experience with the program I found this tutorial extremely helpful, but if you're still a relative newcomer, it's going to be baffling or intimidating. Best advice I can give: start with simple shapes, experiment, and keep backups. You'll get it.

cant even tell what your doing... no sound too, fast...

may as well just show a before and after

[NinkaPanda]

How is that going to help?

Showing before and after.... If you know the basics, then you would be able to follow on what he is doing.

[rotbed]

I think this is a screen glitch - sorry!

[zeHorrNet]

awesome

[abheroc]

and what can he say? turn this to orange, turn this to red.. and heres the funny part: turn this to orange again :D

[abheroc]

i can learn from fast tutorials... and its time saving so judge only in your nameS noobS

[kman1111]

2d, yur doin it rong

[jopa5800]

Useless without sound. Sorry, but all tutorials that try to teach something by only showing it in fast motion will fail - they are a waste of time for both the producer and the recipient.

[rotbed]

Sorry to let you down so badly. I'll try to do better next time.

[kman1111]

who said this was a tutorial?

[mrotsdnal]

If you have a basic understanding of Illustrator then its really boring listening to ponderous explanations of "now go to your white arrow tool" etc. so fast ones can be good. though i see your point in general.

Those tiny lines are insane. Simply amazing.

Thank you for sharing!

hi! very nice! thanks for uploading.

is it possible to use the gradient mesh also with shapes that are more complicated, like flames or trees? i've tried that several times -- without any success... I'm a beginner!

[1nzm1]

Anyhow work is excellent. u got 10/10

[rotbed]

Thanks for the feedback - appreciated

[1nzm1]

if sound also include then will be more effective.
