Al Chapter 6: Strokes

I’ve learned something new about the strokes in Illustrator. When the curves are selected, I can change the style using Align Strokes – whether Align Stroke to Center, Inside, or Outside. I liked the Inside style, but it made the curves too pointy so I chose Center instead. For the heart at the top center of the skeleton, I adjusted the second line. To make it dashed, I checked (or clicked) “Dashed Line” and it opens up a section of different types of “dash” & “gap”. Here, I can adjust the gaps and the dotted lines. On the very left “dash”, I put 10pt and 6pt in the “gap” on the next. It’s a very interesting process for making the shapes very accurate and neat, also making sure that the spacing match to the others.
