I found this great tutorial some time ago for working with the gradient mesh tool in Illustrator and making a vector portrait with it.
Adobe Illustrator Gradient Mesh Portrait Tutorial
Someone here on the forum posted a link to the vector image of Kiera Knightley which is actually made by Paul Bush - the creator of this tutorial. He IS good at what he does .
It (the tutorial) is really good, it actually helped me learn how to work with this tool so I think it will be really helpful for anyone interested in photo-realistic vector graphics.

I had to do a portrait of myself on Ilustrator for an assignment; using mesh wasn't mandatory but I gave it a try.
I learned a lot about the mesh tool in the process, but the final product was a bit of a mess.
I watched a lot of tutarials, but none was of making an actual portrait so this one should be useful, even if it looks very complicated, thanks!

I've learn away around to do things that looks like mesh but it aint mesh at all. Mesh tool should star by using a square with a grid and make from a square to the final but it very hard found using masks, blends and radial gradients much easier to get the same effects.
