Apple Gradient Mesh

When doing this assignment I found it hard to create a good gradient using the mesh points. I tried to create the look of the apple shining but it did not work very well, as the shining part is just a flat white.

If I were to do this assignment again I would spent more time creating the actual mesh and shaping it better. A better gradient would also help a lot and help give it the three dimensional look. Below is my final product.
