Two things happen when you click and drag with the Pen tool.ġ. As you continue to drag, a curved path is drawn between the previous point and the current point. Then as you hold and drag, you determine the direction of the curve. The first time you click, you set a starting point for the curved path. Unlike straight paths which are created by simply clicking where you want to place an anchor point, curved paths are created by clicking with the mouse (or pen tablet) and dragging. However, with a little bit of understanding, combined with a little bit of practice, you’ll find drawing curves become intuitive and your paths start to go where YOU want them to go. This tends to be the part where people get a bit frustrated with the Pen tool and find their paths flying off in (what seems like) random directions. Continuing on from there, let’s look at how to draw curves with the Pen. So in the previous post, we looked at how to use the Illustrator Pen tool to draw straight line segments.
