Hi
I've been using Ai for one day now, and the thing I struggle most with:
I'm drawing with my pen tablet. This creates lots of single paths.
I'd like to combine them all, so I can do stuff like fill or outline strokes.
So I'd need to join them. But when I try this, it creates new ugly lines that connect random path ends.
How can I achieve this withouth creating those new unwanted lines? 🙂

Thanks in advance! 😄

Oh Live Painter is the way to go then, thank you so much! 😄 ❤️
I'll read into it and for the outline strokes I'll simply create a new path 🙂 🙂 🙂
