Iron Man Textures

James Ellison, a classmate who is a wizard with Illustrator was kind enough to give me a short tutorial this morning, showing how to add depth to vectorised images. The top example shown here was made using the methods he taught me. The second example was developed through my own experimentation with the gradient tool. Previously, my Illustrator skills were very basic, but from what I have learned from these experiments, I will be able to add more depth and texture to my upcoming work.
