Gradient meshes are the key to precisely controlling gradients and creating realistic highlights and shadows in your artwork. Here Justin shows how to create your first mesh; manipulate the points, color, and texture of meshes; and create meshes for a variety of real-world, hands-on projects, from 3D models to color-rich poster designs. Make sure to take the challenge Justin issues at the end of the course to practice your skills and "fire" up your next Illustrator project.
