Auto fill corners

[breG]

I am trying to automatically fill corners, how us this possible?  I saw an artist named Martin Sati do this with his artwork, but am unable to figure out how to fill corners in my illustration.

breG,

Can you show a screenshot/image with an indication or rough sketch of the desired outcome, maybe with arrows and description?

There are scripts that may serve the purpose.

Please use the Insert Photos button at the top of the Replys box (looks like moon over mountains): this will show the image in your post, unlike the more conspicuous Drag & drop attachment which will just give a link.

Let me know, thank you for your help~

breG,

I believe this is one for Kurt ( @Kurt Gold ) who has solved the opposite issue, known as the Blob issue.

Based on your screenshot I'm not sure if the sporadically filled areas at the "corners" are automatically created.

There are automatic and flexible ways, but they may not be exactly what you're looking for.

Below you can download a sample Illustrator file that shows two possible approaches. You may take it as a starting point.

Hello,

Thank you so much for your help!  Is it possible to put the attachment you showed me into a diffrent format?  I cant seem to open it.  Again, thank you so much for your help.

[breG]

When I open the document, it just shows me text in another language.  Please let me know if you help me with this, I really appreciate your effort and would love to see the document.  Thank you.

Which version of Illustrator are you using?

In case you are using one of the latest Illustrator versions, it shouldn't be an issue to open my sample file.

I hope it's a matter of course that you first unzipped the file before trying to open it in Illustrator.

Otherwise you may clarify further.

[breG]

I got it open, and this is exactley the type of style I am looking for!  Would you mind breaking down the steps for making this type of illustration?  It seems you effortlessly created these and I would love to know how it is done.  Thank you for all your help!

[Kurt Gold]

You may take a bit of time and break down it yourself.

Instruction:

- Select the Live Paint Group on artboard (A1), go to the Appearance panel and check what is there.

- The technique on artboard 2 (A2) is a bit more complex to understand, but you may reproduce it by targeting the sublayer "S_1" and again go to the Appearance panel to see what attributes and effects are used there.

[breG]

I have done that, and it shows you used Round Corners to create the spider web pattren on A1.  I am unable to access Round Corners for some reason, under stylize it does nort show Round Corners option.  I have enabled corner widgets on Illustrator with no such luck, please let me know if you have any ideas

[breG]

My apologies, I was able to find the rounded corners option.  Please disregard the last message.  I will followup with an update later, thank you

[breG]

So, I succesfully completed the lines portion of this problem.  Now, I have an image that I want to round corners for the whole illustration.  I have attached the image below.  If you could help in any way I would greatlly appreciate it, thank you.

[Kurt Gold]

You could share one of your samples as an Illustrator file, so one can see what may be possible.

[breG]

Here it is, should be attached below!

[breG]

Hold on, its not letting me attach the file, give me one minute

[Jacob Bugge]

breG,

You can Save a Copy as a PDF with preserved AI Editing Capabilities (ticked), or share a link to the AI document uploaded somewhere else.

Curiously, attachment of AI is not allowed, so it has to be wrapped in a PDF.

Edit: Cross posting.

Unfortunately, your download link is not public.

In Google Drive there is a setting to make it available for everyone. You may try to enable it and share another link.

[breG]

It should be public now!

[Kurt Gold · Accepted solution]

Yes, now the link is public.

Based on your sample file which is a bit different from what I expected, I have not tried to find out some other automated way to "fill" the "corners". This sample is not consistent enough to create the automation you are probably looking for.

As a playground for some experiments, you can download a quick sketch of a creature, half cucumber salad or watermelon, half overweight dinosaur that is disenchanted with its entire living.

This approach is a simple and flexible Pathfinder application. Drag around the stroked paths to see what happens. It is sometimes a bit unpredictable, but hopefully worth to have a look at.

Do you know how to insert a Illustrator file?  It keeps giving me an error message, "Attachment content type does not match file extension and has been removed"

[Larry G. Schneider]

Change the file type to PDF and make sure that Illustrator Editing is enabled. You should be able to add ithere.

It sounds like you might be talking about using Live Paint and the Shapebuilder. Check these tutorials to see if they help you do what you want:
