Objective
    Create a hand using Illustrator’s gradient mesh tool.

Resolution
    Played around with the gradient mesh tool a bit in order to understand how it worked then looked for a hand to use for the project.

Execution
    Once I had figured everything out for the mesh tool, I got to work and made the outline of the hand first and once that was complete viewed the outlined shape and began to map out the shadows in the hand using the mesh tool. I did each little area at a time as I mapped out the shadows there then colored the anchors to match before moving on to the next area and continued this until everything looked good. However when it came to the shadows between the fingers, it became more difficult and had to use some creative problem solving in order to get the desired result that I wanted.
