There are a few things you need before you can start making strokes in Illustrator. First, you’ll need a stroke tool. Second, you’ll need to know how to make a basic stroke. Finally, you’ll need to know how to make a cross stroke. To make a basic stroke in Illustrator, start by selecting the Stroke tool and choosing the Basic Stroke option. Next, choose the size of your brush and click on the OK button. Next, drag your cursor over the area that you want to create a stroke for. When your cursor is over the edge of your canvas, drag down so that your brush falls within the bounds of your canvas. Finally, release your mouse button and release the mouse wheel so that your brush moves up and down on top of your canvas.
