Plain, simple, straight to the point, not asking for likes or subs... - You sir, are a legend!

Really appreciate how straight forward and easy this tutorial is! I hate how a lot of graphic design tutorials are so long-winded & you have to sit through a lot of unnecessary dialoge to understand the thing you want to learn.
So thank you for this :)

thats a great tutorial dude.simple and fast.by the way you can round corners when you have an outline.you just go to stroke settings and round courners smthing like that

"Life saving" little tutorial. Thanks a lot :)

How do you do the reverse? Convert and object back to a stroke?

[flamingofiend]

thanks so much! i was drawing a flamingo neck and making it a long thick stroke was much easier than tracing an outline around it but I wanted to combine it with the head. you're a lifesaver!

Hi, thanks for the good video.
I was wondering to ask your advise. When I create an object like flower petal and then add cut line to it I attach them together but when it goes to Cricut it separates line and the petal as 2 different objects so I have to highlight and click attach to keep them together. Am I doing something wrong in Illustrator?

Thanks for the video! Super simple and to the point! Any idea how to do the opposite? convert an object to a path?
