How to Separate Strokes from Fills, Making Icons in Adobe Illustrator

Рет қаралды 660

When building icons from shapes, the overlapping art may need to be trimmed at some point in your process. In this video, I show you an amazing trick in Adobe Illustrator, to trim your art while separating the strokes from the fills in just a few clicks. A major time-saver!
↗️ Extra Tip: What if you use brushes or width profiles on your strokes? Live Paint will convert these to a default 1 pt. uniform stroke when you make the live paint group (you'll see a warning first). You can apply the brush or width profile again after you have expanded. Work on a copy, so you can keep the original brush settings.
