Applying a more elaborate local color adjustment - Illustrator Tutorial

Applying a more elaborate local color adjustment
I've saved my changes as The regal tiki.ai. We're now going to switch over to a more elaborate version of this illustration. It's called Green with red wings.ai. Obviously, it features a green radial gradient in the background. I've also gone ahead and updated tiki. I've created a brand new version of this symbol, that's available to you here inside the Symbols panel. It's called Green tiki. But otherwise, the lions and their wings are just the same as they were before. Well, I want them to look different. I want the lions to be green with heavy black outlines. I want the wings to look like they're on fire. So, how might we accomplish that? Well, we can apply some more local overrides. This time these local color overrides will be a little more elaborate than what we saw before. So I'm going to click on one of the lions to select it. Then to select all the other lions, you go up to the Select menu, choose Same, and choose Symbol Instance, and that will get all of them as you can see…
