On the PropertyВ bar, click the Sample Mesh Fill ColorВ icon, which is the Eyedropper. To add the first color, select a node or marquee-select a group of nodes that share the same color. As long as the meshes were created correctly, the color of the image will match perfectly. Now we will start applying color to each object and this is where the magic begins. Once we have the defined shape we can begin to subdivide and make the mesh grid more complex, to end up with something like this:ДЄfter the rectangles have been created and shaped to fit the objects in the original image, the design will look like this:ДЄs you can see the structure is very simple, but with all the mesh grids applied it doesnвЂ™t look as simple. We will start a new object using the same technique: create a rectangle, apply a mesh, and adapt the points to shape the object. These divisions help to create realistic effects but try to limit the number of nodes you use. TIP: Keep in mind that every time you double-click, it generates a horizontal and a vertical division. Continue to add intersections and adjust nodes until you have something like this. Then position the nodes to align with the color area below. To add a subsection, double-click on the dotted red mesh line to generate a horizontal and vertical division in the mesh. The idea is to add new subsections that correspond with different colors or shades in the image below, for example, the darker areas along the left and top edges where the stitches are. Once we have shaped the mesh grid to align with the object area of the image below, we can start adding subsections. I have used color points as a reference so you can see how I placed them in the mesh on the shape that I want to replicate. Try to keep the central node as close to the center of the object as possible, because this will make your work easier. Now adjust the position of each white node to line up with the shape of the area below. Also on the PropertyВ bar, adjust the TransparencyВ slider to 100, so you can see the object underneath the mesh. This will give you better control over the shaping of the mesh grid. On the PropertyВ bar, click on the Convert to LineВ icon to convert all nodes to lines. With Mesh FillВ tool still active, drag around the mesh you just created to marquee-select all the nodes. Then activate the Mesh FillВ tool and it will automatically apply the default 2Г—2 mesh grid. Select the RectangleВ tool and create the first rectangle. We are starting with area #7, which is the heel of the shoe. In our shoe image weвЂ™ve identified 15 rectangles that we will use with the Mesh FillВ tool and we will create the details in small pieces with vector objects. Breaking the illustration down into smaller parts will give you more control with the tool. Now letвЂ™s identify the small shapes within the image. It could be any image but for this tutorial weвЂ™ll use this image of a shoe. The easiest way to master the Mesh FillВ tool is to use an image as a base.

With these concepts in mind, we can create a simple mesh fill that correctly adapts to the objects and shapes we need, and the divisions flow easily. Using this concept any object can be reduced to one of those two shapes.ДЄnother concept to understand is the behavior of the Mesh FillВ tool, by default the subdivision works on vertical axis and horizontal axis. For example, an apple is more like a circle while a banana is more like a rectangle. The first concept is that all the objects you can draw come from two basic shapes: a rectangle or a circle.
