An alternative solution is to make a duplicate of the shape before you apply gradient mesh." what kind of silliness is this? in corel, one just has to simply 'convert to curves'! why is this missing in illustrator? the same reason it was impossible to place an objects outline behind its fill until only recently... which you could do in corel since at least version 2! its confounding oversights in illustrator that keep me going back to corel.

like this: “There is no way to turn it on. An alternative solution is to make a duplicate of the shape before you apply gradient mesh.”

what kind of silliness is this? in corel, one just has to simply ‘convert to curves’!

why is this missing in illustrator?

the same reason it was impossible to place an objects outline behind its fill until only recently… which you could do in corel since at least version 2!

I've been using Illustrator for a while now and have mastered just about everything but the gradient mesh. This simple tut is so much easier to understand than any other I've found and now I have a good starting point to practice using the gradient mesh tool! Thank you so much.

Try this instead: first draw a circle. With the Pen Tool selected, hold Alt as you click the top anchor point to convert it a a point shape. Click and drag the point again to move it higher to form the tear shape. Maybe your water droplet paths are messy, that’s why the mesh turns messy. Try this instead: first draw a circle.
