Different results with mesh tool, what did I do wrong?

Hey Adobe community,

it´s the first time I create a post here. I hope I follow the guidelines accordingly!

I am pretty desperate at this point, since I can´t understand what I did different this time.

What I wanted is this look:

I can´t tell what I did wrong. I would really appreciate some help! 🙂

Hi dont apply any width profile just use basic and try again its working fine for me...regards

If so, I don´t know how I applied any width to the lines. Just followed a tutorial on Youtube and it turned out this way. Where can I edit the width?

To me that looks like you have applied fills to your lines where there should be none.

If the filled and stroked lines were duplicated from top to bottom then dragging a mesh point up will give this effect. Dragging a mesh point down will give what you expected.

Removing the fill is, as Monika noticed, the best solution.
