    I'm just average user in illustrator and i'm working on a little type design for fun. Found a good script font and want to make it all pretty and show the script parts that overlap in a faux 3d style. Toying with different messy pathfinder options. Plus trying to line draw other portions on top. The methods im using just seem time sucking. Any known great methods to isolate the overlapping portions? Preferably directed at a tutorial because always easier to understand with pictures.

    My thinking was to get all overlapping parts on its own layer then apply alpha/gradient masks where needed. Is this the wrong approach?
