Warning: I am not an expert with Adobe Illustrator

I have done an illustration, using Adobe Illustrator, of some hair and a beard using only brushstrokes. I want to copy-and-paste this illustration into a Sketch file. However, there are so many brush strokes (paths?) that it takes some time to copy-and-paste the illustration between documents.

Does anybody know how I can join/flatten/combine (not sure of the right word because of my limited Illustrator knowledge) these brush strokes together so that it becomes more light-weight? At the moment, my computer has to do too many calculations.

You can select all shapes that you need join, go to the main menu Object ->expand... the strokes lines must be converted into shapes, as in the example below



Next we will make all shapes unite, keep select all shapes you want together, go to the panel Pathfinder->Shapes Mode-> Unite and all shapes will became as one, if perhaps you don't watch the panel you can press Shift+Ctrl+F9 or go to main window and select Pathfinder.
