Well, after reading meehoo's thread, I decided to jump into AI with both feet! This is a very poor start i know (at least in my own eyes), i just followed a simple tute and thought it came out kinda' neat.
it's just a ewer bowl, or if you don't know what a ewer and bowl is, it's what they used to use for washing hands before they had running water. It was something that the more well-to-do families used anyway -- farmers normally used the hand-style water pump! :B (a little history lesson)
If someone could give me some pointers on using the 3D revolve to smooth stuff out a bit better than this, I'd appreciate it muchly!!
Using AI CS (great gift from my dad for Xmas -- yeah baby!)
1. Created the path i wanted
2. Changed colors (fill and stroke)
3. Effect>3D>Revolve around Y-Axis (settings; -18,-26,0; smooth shading) -- the result is the second picture. Don't know how to create bowl without the blocky shadowing effect. [confused]
4. Then used the Smudge tool to get the first picture!

Can't seem to get the attachments to load up in the proper order so I edited the post to reflect this!
