This is a gradient mesh tutorial about how to draw the red bell pepper with Adobe Illustrator.
Introduction to the Mesh
The gradient mesh tool is a complicated but gorgeous feature in Adobe Illustrator. It has transformed flat vector shapes into 3D-like works of art. Just by adding a grid of anchor points, your renderings become suddenly “real”. It’s an awesome tool that most digital artists find intimidating - with good reason.
Gradient meshes are very complex & tedious compared to other tools in Illustrator. They require all the time and patience you can give them. But as difficult as they may seem, it won’t take long before you gain control. Think about how much you’ve learned since first using the pen tool. Remember that practice always makes you more proficient. Just do your best and have fun.
Good luck and happy rendering!
