Shapes don't connect seamlessly

[Jamie _k]

I'm very new to illustrator and noticed that I can see tiny lines inbetween the shapes. I've looked this up numerous times and nothing has worked so far.

Maybe my technique is just defective. The cow seems to be the problem, nothing else in the image, and I don't know why. Also, if anyone knows how to save the file so I can effectively save it to my phone and other devices, that would be very hepful.

If anyone has the solution to this, please help! Thanks

Select these shapes and use Shape Builder Tool

I'll try that, thank you so much. I really appreciate it!!

Sorry for my late reply. I tried this and it worked. Because there were multiple colors I had to reconstruct most of the spots, but it still worked perfectly! Thank you for your help

It may be just a case of anti-aliasing artifacts.

But nowadays it could also be a mishap caused by the slipshod GPU Preview.

Turning on the CPU Preview in the View menu may sometimes help as well.

I will try that, thank you!
