Saving as SVG with cropped to artboard

Hey guys, got another problem with saving my artwork.

I want to save an image as svg for web. Now, I have tried saving for web, which cropped everything to artboard, but there is no svg available. Furthermore, exporting as svg does not crop anything. Eraser is not working as I have used brush for paiting. I also tried cropping using pathfinder. I got weird result because of paintbrush, so that didn't work either.

Any ideas about this ?

    Make a clipping mask (Object > Clipping Mask > Make)  the same size as the artboard.

    Well that didn't work for me at first try. Maybe because my layers weren't merged. I had to flatten everything and use clipping mask afterwards

    Good to hear you got it working.

    But you should not have to flatten or merge layers.

    When you select everything then thetopmost object will be your clipping mask and all clipped objects will move to the layer with the clipping mask.
