Illustrator is a very powerful tool, only recently have i exposed myself to alot more of this wonderful package. It creates the ever so popular vector images.
One interesting tool within Illustrator (or whichever vector program you use) is the gradient mesh tools.
This is the tutorial that i used today to learn the basics of this tool. whats interesting about this tool is the advanced level of shading that can be done using it in illustrator. instead of working on layers and layers of shading for each shade, Use this to get a gradiented fill instead.
there are some impressive examples from this site below
