Im looking to convert a full colour vector image into pretty much a line drawing with no fill. I use illustrator CS6. I have tried the Edit> Edit Colours> Recolour Artwork. However, when I’m done it still fills in the drawings where a colours were filled previously. deleting the colours inside isnt possible as the vector image was created through a live trace.
Any help regarding this would be appreciated.
Answer
- Select all
- Set fill to White
- Stroke to black
This is essentially line art. Note white fills don’t print.
If you really want to remove the white, do the above then…..
- Select all
Object > Expand- Click the Merge button on the Pathfinder Panel
- Use the Direct Selection Tool (white arrow) and click 1 white shape
- Choose
Select > Same > Fill & Stroke - Hit the Delete key.
You are left with only black shapes making up the outline of the objects.
