Hi. Anyone knows how to fix this? I have mandala grid under the painting as you can see and one layer of lines makes my mandala dashed. How to fix it, please help! Thank you in advance.

How do i do that? Expand the effect to join the lines? (you can now check the file)

The file is only shared for commenting

In order to expand the effect (I have not watched that long tutorial in full length, it was too boring) - you need to target the layer it has been applied to and then Object > Expand appearance. YOu can only do that in the end, because it will. ruin the file set up, which you need for drawing.

If you do not fully understand this approach (and probably the presenter also doesn't explain what's happening anyway), then you don't want to do anything other than what is explained in the video.

Are you talking about the radial lines being over the thick black lines? (Change stacking)

Or that your thick black lines don't join? (Use the radial lines to draw across the whole 12-rant* section width, then rotate)

* whatever that's called... 1/12th of a circle...

Thick black lines don't join. I draw with a paintbrush and blob brush.

Do you understand what the radial guide lines are for?

If you don't draw to the edge of that section, your lines will not "touch" when rotated...

But maybe I'm misunderstanding what you want to do...

Looks like some of the lines are not running under, but over the Mandala. The screenshot is blurred beyond recognition. Please embed screenshots in your posts.

Also: how exactly did you create the mandala?
