I want to create scales running horizontally across this shape such that they gradually reduced/increase in size towards the extremities laterally.

How would I best achieve this? Create a pattern swatch & then use the mesh tool to work it in to the shape or create a pattern brush? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What about using a scaled-down version of your original shape and specify a few steps using the Blend Tool?

A pattern fill with a mesh distortion is about your only option other than manually creating the variations.



Shape -> Apply Pattern fill -> Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Mesh -> move the mesh points around.

(Note best to do this on a copy of the original shape. That way you will still have the original without the mesh if needed.)
