Drawing with the Pen Tool: Draw straight line segments with the Pen tool The simplest path you can draw with the Pen tool is a straight line, made by clicking the Pen tool to create two anchor points. By continuing to click, you create a path made of straight line segments connected by corner points.

Clicking Pen tool creates straight segments.

Draw curves with the Pen tool You create a curve by adding an anchor point where a curve changes direction, and dragging the direction lines that shape the curve. The length and slope of the direction lines determine the shape of the curve.

Drawing the rst point in a curve A. Positioning Pen tool B. Starting to drag (mouse button pressed) C. Dragging to extend direction line

Drawing the second point in a curve A. Starting to drag second smooth point B. Dragging away from previous direction line, creating a C curve C. Result after releasing mouse button 4

Reposition anchor points as you draw After you click to create an anchor point, keep the mouse button pressed down, hold down the spacebar, and drag to reposition the anchor point. Finish drawing a path Complete a path in one of the following ways: To close a path, position the Pen tool over the rst (hollow) anchor point. A small circle appears next to the Pen tool pointer when it is positioned correctly. Click or drag to close the path. To leave a path open, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (MacOS) anywhere away from all objects. Draw straight lines followed by curves

Drawing a straight segment followed by a curved segment (part 1) A. Straight segment completed B. Positioning Pen tool over endpoint C. Dragging direction point

Drawing a straight segment followed by a curved segment (part 2) A. Positioning Pen tool B. Dragging direction line C. New curve segment completed

Draw curves followed by straight lines

Drawing a curved segment followed by a straight segment (part 1) A. First smooth point of curved segment completed and Pen tool positioned over endpoint B. Dragging to complete the curve

Drawing a curved segment followed by a straight segment (part 2) C. Positioning Pen tool over existing endpoint D. Clickingendpoint E. Clicking next corner point

Draw two curved segments connected by a corner

Drawing two curves A. Dragging a new smooth point B. Pressing Alt/Option to split direction lines while dragging, and swinging direction line up C. Result after repositioning and dragging a third time

Adjust path segments: Move or adjust straight segments With the Direct Selection tool , select the segment or anchor point you want to adjust, then drag to its new position. You can also click or hold down any of the arrow keys on the keyboard to move 1 pixel at a time in the direction of the arrow.

Adjust the position or shape of curved segments

With the Direct Selection tool , select a curved segment, or an anchor point on either end of the curved segment, then do any of the following:

Click to select the curve segment. Then drag to adjust.

Drag the anchor point, or drag the direction point.

Delete a segment With the Direct Selection tool , select the segment you want to delete. Press Backspace (Windows) or Delete (MacOS) to delete the selected segment. Pressing Backspace or Delete again erases the rest of the path. Extend an open path Using the Pen tool, click the endpoint of the open path you want to extend. The pointer changes when its precisely positioned over the endpoint. Then click on anywhere else to extend. Drag if you want to create curve. Connect two open paths Using the Pen tool, click the endpoint of the open path you want to connect to another path. The pointer changes when its precisely positioned over the endpoint. Then click an endpoint on the other path. When you precisely position the Pen tool over the other paths endpoint, a small merge symbol appears next to the pointer. Join two endpoints

Select the endpoints. If the endpoints are coincident (on top of each other), drag a marquee through or around both endpoints to select them. Click the Connect Selected End Points button in the Control panel.

Joining endpoints A. Selecting and joining coincident endpoints B. Selecting and joining non-coincident endpoints

Join two or more paths Illustrator CS5 provides the option to join two or more open paths. To join one or more open paths, use the Selection tool to select the open paths and click Object > Path > Join. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+J (Windows) or Cmd+J (Mac). When anchor points are not overlapping, Illustrator adds a line segment to bridge the paths to join. While joining more than two paths, Illustrator rst looks for and joins the paths that have end points stationed closest to each other. This process is repeated until all paths are joined. If you select only one path to join, it is converted into a closed path. Exercise Draw with the pen tool an animal which represents your personality.
