Mangos are one of my favorite fruits, so I thought it'd be fun trying to recreate one! It was definitely challenging to make sure the colors matched as closely as possible, and I ended up having to trace more shapes, especially for the stem, than I thought I would to make it look more authentic. Having never used the gradient mesh before or recreating an image like this, I think it turned out pretty well. Not sure if I'd do it again, but it was a good experience to help me work more with Illustrator's tools.
