Artist's Comments

I've been really intimidated by gradient mesh, but really, really wanting to know how to do it, so I finally bucked up, found a tutorial, and learned! :shakefist:

This is my first real attempt at gradient mesh. I really learned a lot working through this tutorial and working on this picture. :excited:


:heart: This was done for ^znow-white's article Resourcefully Yours // Show and Tell #11 :heart:

damn good viki. only one thing i see. the leaf is a bit off on the coloring of the highlights. just a bit to make it slightly unrealistic. looks almost too plasticky. but the rest.... god damn you're good...

Just for today I will give thanks for my many blessings. I will not worry. I will not be angry. I will do my work honestly. I will be kind to my neighbor and every living thing.
