Mesh Bear

For the Mesh assignment, besides the object difference, I'm sure everyone's process war relatively the same; separating each part of the object into different layers using the pen tool, filling it in with the eye drop tool with the general color of each area, then making a grid of each layer with the gradient mesh tool and going from the select tool to the eye drop tool and coloring each section with its appropriate color to make the object seem three dimensional. I spent a lot of time trying to make the sections blend in with each other because most of the time they would look like exactly that -- separate sections. So I'd use the eye drop tool from the color of one section to the other. I think this was most successful on his belly. For the texture I used the sponge effect. I tried many of them and it seemed to have been the most similar. Prior posts have images of earlier stages of the bear.
