Update: I created a Youtube video showing my layers one by one for this artwork. You can find it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejDQcp…

When I started this mesh, I wanted to create realistic skin textures on my gradient mesh work. I wanted to see how far I could push the mesh tool. I wanted to achieve photorealism like I had never done before. I'm happy how it turned out, but I might never push the mesh this far again without someone writing a check for the work. This gradient mesh vector was completed over a three week period. This gradient mesh was done without using the mesh tormentor.

Time: I stop counting after 100+ hours...

Illustrator CS6, gradient mesh tool, a vector hair brush, square tool, and nothing else

MIND BLOWN! if I hadn't seen the outline mesh i would have never believed my eyes, I remember when gradient mesh was a new thing in illustrator, this is other worldly stuff here. i vectored a $100 bill and it isn't on the same planet as this is. Fantastic work dude. truly fantastic!
