Adobe Illustrator | Gradient Mesh Project

I have a new found love for the gradient mesh tool in Illustrator! I had completed a couple of projects during my schooling at HACC with it, but my projects turned out mediocre. The mushroom guy project has really helped me get learn how to fine tune the Bezier curves and manipulate the points to create a smoother gradient. It was rather challenging getting the gradients right, but I really enjoyed this project. I was sorry to see it come to an end!
