This is like the tip video you never knew you needed!!! Such great video Elizabeth! Thank you!

[@ElizabethSilver]

yay! so glad it helped you out!

[@luciaaa3962]

Awesome! It's interesting to see how others work and your tips are great time- and effortsavers. I didn't know I could do some steps faster, easier and less frustrating, like the outline stroke thing (that was new to me). It makes me just love Ai more than I already do. Thanks a lot

[@ElizabethSilver]

Glad it was helpful! It's always fun to look over someone's shoulder to see how they do things!

Why do we need less anchor points? Sorry, I’m new to illustrator…not sure why it matters.

[@ElizabethSilver]

You don't always need less, but sometimes having less makes editing your shapes easier (moving 1 anchor point out of 5 makes a big impact than moving 1 point out of 45) and also it makes the file size more manageable.
