When you’re creating an object in Illustrator, it’s important to keep things simple. You don’t want to create too many details or layers, and you don’t want to clutter up your work area with unnecessary objects. To help you outline an object in Illustrator, you can use the following steps:

  1. Choose the Rectangle tool and draw a rectangle around the object you want to outline.
  2. Use the Line tool to draw a line across the top of the rectangle.
  3. Use the Polygonal tool to create a polygonal shape around the line and the rectangle itself.
  4. Use the Ellipse tool to make an ellipse around both lines and the rectangle itself.
