Day 3

I experimented some more with the gradient mesh tool. That thing is really cool. I would love to be able to use it effectively so I will practice using it whenever possible. I ran into problems working with shapes though. I wanted to try shading a human figure so I grabbed this reference sketch from deviantART and attempted to live trace it. Once I got it traced, I was able to add a mesh to the head but not to the body. I think the fact that the body is tracing as multiple separate lines is preventing me from using is as a shape for a mesh. I will have to take a step back and look up some tracing tutorials tomorrow...
