Amazing vector gradient mesh showcase – Part 1 Tweet
The gradient mesh tool from Adobe Illustrator is in my opinion most tough one, and not because is involve a too deep knowledge of Illustrator, but it request something what sometimes cannot be replaced by hours of work and tutorials: pure talent. Check this first part of showcase of over 25 great quality gradient mesh works to understand why i am talking about talent.
Like you can see in following images, the painting is not limited to Adobe Photoshop. Some images are close to perfection in imitation of reality, others are easy to be recognized like graphics because of less details on hairs or other elements. But, if you can see the footprint of CG, is not because the artist had less skills there. You will see for instance images from 2005 (like is portrait of Elijah Wood) which are so full in details, in years when the vector art was not so easy to be achieved. Keep in mind the vectors are used in special for print purposes. On a banner what cover a building, or even on an apparel, those details doesn’t matter, because on a banner canvas (some are call “mesh” too) or an a t-shirt, the quality of details is limited by printing procedure and texture.
