Cybear. 2nd Draft. Because I'm Bored.

I'm trying to figure out how to operate the gradient tool in Illustrator. I've never really had any reason to use it before.

It's a lot less intuitive than I would have thought.

Anyway, I'm liking how this one is coming together. I did away with the black stroke that I've been using and I'm trying to rely on color and shading (I realize that the lighting and shadows probably don't make sense in this image yet - it's a work in progress).
