: Creating Fill Color in Arrowhead - Illustrator I'm trying to create a graphic style that looks like "A", applicable to a stroke. I can get "B" using the stroke panel, with arrowhead options,

@Alves566

There is a way to customize arrowheads, but it is quite daunting. If you are going to use the custom arrowhead all the time it would make sense to create a custom one. For only one time uses, I would not suggest it.

But since you asked...

From Adobe's help


Customize arrowheads

To define custom arrowheads, open the Arrowheads.ai file, which is
located under ShowPackageContentRequiredResources (for
Mac) and Support FilesRequiredResources (for Windows).
Follow the instructions in the file to create custom arrowheads.

Place the updated Arrowheads.ai file at: Plug-ins
and avoid replacing the existing Arrowheads.ai file.


The Arrowheads.ai file has very detailed instructions about how to create the arrowheads.

Now, last but not least...

How did I come up with this answer


Went to Google.com (any other search engine would work).
Searched for "adobe illustrator customize arrowhead". The less and the more precise the terms are, the better.
Scanned down the list of results and noticed one of the links was from adobe.com. Clicked on it because, if the answer is in adobe's help files, then there is no point in searching around anymore.

I would create the 2 objects separately. For web, the circle is ~72px with a 1.5 pt stroke. Use the eye drop tool (I) to get the colors.



Stroke options for the line extending from the circle

You can then group the 2 objects together or combine then with the path finder. You can also expand the shapes.
