Original picture


Meshed with AI



A task was given to show how to mesh a picture like so: 

I will be using a picture of mangoes



Step 1: Grab an image from the internet. I grabbed mangoes!


Step 2: Change the setting of the original picture to a template.


Step 3: Use pen or a shape tool to out line the shape. Remember to ctrl y to see
the outline properly.


Step 4: Select the mesh tool and click on the outlines.


Step 5: This is how it looks after using the mesh tool on the shape.


Step 6: Use direct selection tool on a point and eyedrop the nearby colours
near the point. 


Step 7: This should be the result after you finished.


Step 8: Add more meshes on another layer to increase detailing instead of a blurry image.


Step 9: Result of after detailing.


Step 10: Overall image of the middle mango after finishing the details.


Step 11: Repeat the same thing to the rest of the image.


Final product of the image.
