This year I wanted to improve my Adobe Illustrator game. The rules were simple - gradient, vector, everyday and sometime after the vectober started I started experimenting with gradient mesh. 

I have compiled few gradient mesh works below.

  The general process was to create the shape and then add greyscale values to bring out interesting shapes and lighting followed by adding colours with multiple gradients set to overlay. This was crazy fun to do.

Sunbath was an accidental composition. 

The shoulders actually started as a mountain and evolved into the sunbath piece

Tan one was interesting to do. The leg tilt was tough to achieve

Dream was memorable. It was the first piece where I tried to simulate something closer to a human face

For Gloss I used an iconic photo of Madonna by Alberto Tolot as reference

With Rim I wanted to create something photorealistic. Halfway there I guess!

Statis was a result of my experiment to simulate a bronze material

Watched Blade runner 2049 and was really impressed by the movie's visual language. This is a fan art of Joi

Twist was really interesting to work on. 

Creating the muscle structure and setting up the colour and lighting was challenging

Leap was Twist's second part. This was exciting to do. 

( Got few feedbacks from people I know "Nike" might like this. If only!!! ) 

Pose was the last piece of Vectober 2017
