How to make a stroke that is separated from its object?

by

I want to make a stroke to be a little bit further than the object itself, so between object and stroke there will be a transparency.

By default, the stroke is touching the object. How can I achieve a stroke that is distant from the object in Illustrator?

Answer

Select your strokeless shape and seek out your Appearance panel. In there, you’ll find the option to Add a new stroke, either in the options, or using the button:

appearance panel with add stroke options highlighted

  • Add a new stroke by choosing either option
  • Once you’ve added the new stroke, select it in the panel.

appearance panel with extra stroke selected

  • Choose Effect > Path > Offset path and choose a positive value.
