One of my favorite tools in Adobe Illustrator® is the gradient mesh tool. It allows one to create photorealistic images in a vector program (not pixel-based), which is kind of like a CAD program, but much cooler. Obviously this isn't photorealistic, but it's one of my first attempts at using the gradient mesh tool, and I thought it turned out okay. I can't claim to have created the original design, which was painted on silk by my super-talented aunt Laura in Hawaii. I simply used her artwork as a template to try out the gradient mesh tool.
