I found this tutorial for making an apple. I liked it alot, and learned a lot from completing it. If you have time, I recommend you give it a shot. How to Create a Delicious Green Apple Illustration - PSDTUTS My finished product.
Thanks! i used to hate illustrator but im really starting to like it, i am taking a class with it so im learning about it
i did this in photoshop. though i think it can be done in illustrator too. its mostly just using the selection tool and Gaussian blurs. P.S. that Gauss guy, he's a mother f'ing ahole. if youve taken physics 2, then you know why.
