My first attempt at a gradient mesh

[gbrown]

Like the title says this is my first real attempt at doing a gradient mesh, i picked an easy object as i don't wanna get to complicated all at once. Anyway what do you guys think.

P.S. i do bruise easily

I am confused about the lighting direction....seems a bit blotchy!

Nice job. Center black color is distracting though, like a hole in it.

I like the top part, nice metallic effect.

Can you post the wireframe only for us?

Ctrl y (PC) Cmnd Y (mac)
then take a screen shot.
Copy and paste into new document.
Save for the web as jpeg.
Post

You did all that without Crtl Y-ing? Did you go from a pic or just pick arbitrary colors?
Good job if you did without a pic.(well good job anyways...but more impressive)
