In this Illustrator video, Von Glitschka shows an easy way to add multiple strokes to an object, using the Appearance panel. He adds multiple lines simply by using the panel to add to the object’s appearance. Von then creates a graphic style with a simple drag and drop. He then repeats the look on multiple objects by selecting them and clicking the appropriate graphic style.
This video is an excerpt from Von’s “The 14 Tools You Need to Master in Illustrator” session at CreativePro Week.
