I used the Brush Tool in Illustrator to do that. I named the layer SKETCH, then locked the layer. Step 2 Since I will trace the sketch using a black stroke so I change the outline color to orange. Tips: never use an outline color the same as the sketch, as you will have difficulty in differentiate them when tracing. Step 3 Start tracing the body with the Pen Tool in a new layer above the SKETCH layer. I named this new layer main body. Step 4 Do the same thing for other parts of the aircraft. As you can see, I divided the object into five different parts, each on a different layer. OK, this is what the finished outline looks like. Step 5 Next thing to do is rendering the aircraft. I choose to start from the most dominant part, which is the body. Apply the gradient to it simply by clicking the Period key in your keyboard. Using the Gradient Tool (G), drag the cursor from upper-left to bottom-right. Set the stroke color to none. Step 6 Go to Gradient panel and change the orientation type to Radial, also you might want to change the color combination. I used the colors shown below. Dont forget to save the colors in your Swatch panel. Step 7 I want the gradient to have a much deeper color so I added a new slider somewhere in the middle between the two sliders closer to the dark than the bright one. Next, I switched the place of the new slider and dark blue slider. Now add this gradient color to the swatch panel. Step 8 After I have the basic gradient color, now its time to add some lighting effects. Im planning to set the light source coming from the right side of the aircraft. Create two shapes as shown below. Fill the small one
