I then applied the shadow feature to the shape. The only problem, is that the 4 lines I used to create shading on my pencil somehow get removed from the shape when I apply the shadow!
Hi @Moosh the problem is that you select the entire figure but that is made up from many shapes. You should select only the border of pencil if it is possible otherwise you can draw a new shape similar a pencil and then you can use it like a shadow.
