Illustrator Gradient Mesh - realistic vector illustrations

The Illustrator gradient mesh is often ignored because it can be unwieldy and confusing to use at first. If you persevere though it is incredibly useful, and some great effects can be achieved. This is my attempt to get to grips with it by creating an illustration of a metallic fishing lure for a design project. As the timelapse progresses it is clear where I change my mind about one method and try another. For example, gradient mesh was great for the body, but was unnecessary for the eye. Highlights were made with feathered, semi-transparent lines.

If you know Illustrator basics tutorials like these are a great way to learn proper worktechniques. I enjoyed this video, thank you.I do have one question; at a few points you add a number of eyedropper icons, how is this done?

If you have a basic understanding of Illustrator then its really boring listening to ponderous explanations of "now go to your white arrow tool" etc. so fast ones can be good. though i see your point in general.
