How to Create a Yellow Submarine Icon with Gradient Meshes
Check out my latest Illustrator tutorial on Vectortuts+! How to Create a Yellow Submarine Icon with Gradient Meshes.

This is a Plus tutorial so you need to be a subscriber to follow it. I’ll just post here some of the public screenshots from the website. Hope you like it! The tecniques are quite involved: gradient meshes for the shading, pattern brushes for the rivets and opacity masks for the shadows. Quite a lot of work but extremely fun to do.
Thanks to Sean Hodge, the editor of Vectortuts+, for allowing me to create such an interesting illustration!

Really awesome looking illustration buddy. Specially, that gradient on the yellow ellipse to make it look like a 3D submarine… Really impressive stuff
Keep it up!
Wow man, amazing work. Congratz!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
