Hello! I want to make the inside of the f transparent but I don't know how to do it.. Anyone who can explain to me how I do it? 🙂

Can you show a sketch that may explain what you are going to do?

Also, which version of Illustrator are you using?

Added a picture to the comment section now 🙂

In case the blue splotch is a path object, just select both the splotch and the "f" and then Object menu > Compound Path > Make.

It didn't work.. Does it have to be on the same layer as the blue spot

 

?

Select both objects and use the transparency pallet

Choose Make Mask, and uncheck Clip

What kind of object is your splotch (in Illustrator)?

A vector object or just a (scanned) image?

[Miriin]

Its multiple vector objects 🙂
