Thank you cellophanedeity. Its called the Mesh Tool. You draw the contours onto the object.

Here's another one:

Mesh tool is one of the best features of Illustrator

Hey happy belated birthday dobster!!

Nancy · 05-10-2005, 12:07 AM

Wait... did you just discover the mesh tool, dobster?! Wtf?! You've been working with Illustrator for a long time and you've never used it before?

Remember the iPod girl I was making and couldn't remember the tool that made those cool effets I wanted for the eyelids? Well that was the mesh tool, heheh. I just forgot to tell you about it

Hey Kiddo, thank for the BDay wish, but its not until End of this month, lady!

I know, I was always scared of that little button, it was only a matter of tme before I found a need, and it was for a cushion drawing in the end. LOVING THE MESH!

I did think the ipod lady would use something I hadn't touched yet. Did you show the completed one?

Nice work, Dobster. I'm currently working on something that I consider my best Illustrator work yet. I'll post it here when I'm done.

Although after seeing that lifeinvector site, I'm still feeling like I have much to learn.

RusCrimson · 05-11-2005, 05:38 PM
