Gradient Mesh and Pattern Brush

I have just remastered some old Illustrator school exercices.

Always the same method,

Vectorisation, Pattern Brush or Gradient Mesh, Add Background, Add Color Corrections , Add Effects as Shadows and Highlight then Publish.

This dragon fly took me 8 hours to gradient-mesh it and 2 hours to photoshop it.

This snake is a mix of differents technics I've learned at IAD.

• The branche was made using Gradient Mesh.
• The snake was made using Pattern Brush.
• Snake's head done with my feet.
• All is photoshoped and CC

This Bones is a simple gradient mesh made in 1 hour.
