Ekaterinburg –
This is not a photo. It’s entirely created using Adobe Illustrator in vector art using a technique called Gradient Mesh.
Gradient mesh is an extremely difficult technique to master. It requires the patience of an artist and the the vision of a 3d modeler to pull it off correctly. Ruslan Khasanov has a gift for this style as you can see here. Take a closer look at this series of wireframes and finals and pay close attention to the fabrics and hair. Amazing.

The colour is spot on, but it’s the creases in the leather and the texture of the laces that have us baffled. How did she do it?
Take a look at her process here:
