Through this in-class exercise, we were asked by our professor to create an illustration of any fruit solely using the Mesh Tool in Adobe Illustrator. The Mesh Tool works by adding a ‘mesh’ appearance over a closed shape. These lines are created through the mesh intersecting at points, which can be ordered to appear as different colour swatches. In the end, a life-like vectorized image is created. Through this assignment, I realized I was more skilled in Illustrator than I originally thought. My professor highlighted how well done my fruit was and I was awarded the highest grade for this exercise.
