Re: Nested grouped contours
First of all can I agree with you about nested shapes I think we should have more control right over all the spectrum when using the vector tools of nested shapes or groups. The way that I would do your stars in a cloud would be slightly different and If I have time I will try and post it:
Draw stars
Group them
Convert to editable shapes
Apply 1 step contour
Convert to editable shapes
Ungroup
Select the outside contour
Change Colour of the contour
Apply 1 Step Contour
Convert to editable shapes
Ungroup
Select the outside contour
Change the colour of contour
Draw clouds
Put to back
Apply 1 step contour
Convert to editable shapes
Ungroup
Select outside contour
I think I may have missed one step in that process "Join Shapes" but the process is quite simple.
Design is thinking made visual.
