An apple a week keeps all learned techniques fresh in the mind. Each week I was assigned to create an apple illustration. Each apple has to demonstrate different techniques....
 Here is a collection of my best apples.

The first and second apple is all about the gradient mesh tool. Unlike the third apple, hey are more realistic. The second apple implements a background. the table has hints of green to tie in with the green apples, and the background is a gradient that is a shade of red that does not blend in with the apples.
