Hi R C-R, Thanks for your response!
Yes, I understood Shopkins is actually achieved with multiple shapes inside.
I will not exactly copy this character so it's okay, I was meaning the stroke is not catch any effect from inside,
like other cartoon characters(black stroke with ton's of effect inside)
Just wonder how to achieve it with AD, hopefully not duplicating curves.
And yes, I noticed gradient tool can put the effect without ruining the strokes
but it can only draw liner or oval ramp. It's okay for ice-cream,
but I need to draw a bit complicated characters in a future.
Sound like AD has no ability to control
-LayerEffect applies only Fill
-Using curve for stroke, reuse that curve for masking fill layer(but keep syncing these curves)
-LayerEffect Outline with Size variance control, applying Textured Brushes
I really like AD, ability of LayerEffect, how much I can do without duplicating layers.(we used to duplicate layers for shadows, glows, etc)
I just need one small checkbox, "apply only fill"!
