Hello, could you please help me with a very simple thing, but I can't do it, I've looked for several tutorials, but I haven't found anything that could help me.
I need to create some circles in these formats, and I don't have much experience with Ilustration, if you can help me I'll be grateful.

Could you please demonstrate this with Illustrator open, how can I change this?

 


Like this (and in the end you can always use Object > Path > Outline Stroke to remove one of the dashes).

Or construct it from scratch (there are many ways to get there) :

 

Your image in the background  +  2 circles and 1 star

fill the inner circle and the star with black (and no stroke)

cut both and

paste in place in the opacity mask of the outer circle (which I filled with blue)

the "same" as your own example image

Depending on the desired result, you can use an artbrush, for example. Or you can use pathfinder operations with two circles and a star.

You can try a thick dashed stroke with a variable width profile:

Thank you very much for the tips I managed to do, but there were some scratches between one square and another, in fact I created a circle and used your suggestion. I want those little scratches shown in the red arrow not to show up.
I would like this circle to have exactly 16 squares and not 22 I couldn't find where I can change these values.
