I'm reaching out to my fellow designers out there, as I'm having difficulties with something seemingly simple in the latest version of Adobe Illustrator CC...
I have a pattern that I created from an L shape outlined with a blue stroke:
The fill of each L shape is transparent.
What I want to do is fill in the spaces between each L with the blue colour while keeping the interior of each L transparent.
I've attempted to turn a rectangle filled with the pattern into a live paint group, or to turn it into a clipping mask, but nothing seems to work.
If anyone could offer any guidance, I would be very grateful. I'm pulling my hair out over this, haha!
