The Pen Tool

Adobe Illustrator

At first the pen tool can seem quite hard to master, but after you have learnt the basics and practice, over time you realise that after all it is a piece of cake.

The first thing to do is draw a straight line.

To do that click and release the mouse where you would like the line to end and then click again  

The next thing to master is a curved line

To start you follow the same procedure as the straight line, but when you make you're second click rather than dealing it you hold on to it and then move it in which either direction to get the desired curve.

now you have the power to create all sorts of shapes and imagery.
