How To Make A Low Poly Effect Using The Pen Tool in Adobe Illustrator

This seems a little better. I having some trouble where when I use the pathfinder tool it doesn't divide every shape. Some of them stay connected. I might not be doing it correctly. Any ideas? <img src="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/parentClasses/9a61f62c9de69f407ff7358d6cf5c947/9b8c0d6f" alt="9b8c0d6f" />

Maybe if it was fading more from one side to the other, Ben? I mean for instance from lighter colors on the left to darker on the right?

As you can see I tried to do a low poly shadow at the bottom of the pumpkin, tracing the shadow from my photo and sampling colors from the photo shadow. But it didn't work quite as well as I wanted. Any ideas on what would make the shadow better?
