The simplest path yous can draw with the Pen tool is a directly line, made past clicking the Pen tool to create 2 anchor points. By standing to click, you create a path made of straight line segments connected by corner points.

Clicking Pen tool creates directly segments.

Select the Pen tool ().

Position the Pen tool where yous want the direct segment to brainstorm, and click to define the first ballast bespeak (do not drag).

Notes:

• The get-go segment you lot draw will not be visible until y'all click a second anchor betoken.
• If direction lines appear, you've accidentally dragged the Pen tool; choose Edit > Undo, and click once more.

Click once again where you want the segment to end (Shift-click to constrain the angle of the segment to a multiple of 45°).

Continue clicking to set up anchor points for boosted straight segments.

The concluding anchor point you add always appears equally a solid foursquare, indicating that information technology is selected. Previously divers anchor points become hollow, and deselected, as yous add more ballast points.

Complete the path by doing i of the following:

• To shut the path, position the Pen tool over the first (hollow) anchor point. A modest circle appears next to the Pen tool arrow when it is positioned correctly. Click or drag to close the path.
• To get out the path open, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (macOS) anywhere away from all objects.
• To leave the path open, you can also select a dissimilar tool, or choose Select > Deselect. You can also simply printing Enter or Return to leave the path open up.

Yous create a curve past adding an anchor signal where a curve changes management, and dragging the management lines that shape the curve. The length and slope of the direction lines make up one's mind the shape of the curve.

Curves are easier to edit and your system tin can display and impress them faster if y'all describe them using as few anchor points as possible. Using likewise many points tin can besides innovate unwanted bumps in a bend. Instead, describe widely spaced anchor points, and practice shaping curves by adjusting the length and angles of the direction lines.

Position the Pen tool where you lot want the curve to begin, and hold down the mouse push button. The first ballast betoken appears, and the Pen tool pointer changes to an arrowhead.

Drag to set the slope of the curve segment you're creating, and then release the mouse push.

In general, extend the direction line about 1 tertiary of the altitude to the next ballast point you plan to depict. (You tin can conform one or both sides of the direction line later on.)

Concur down the Shift key to constrain the tool to multiples of 45°.



Cartoon the get-go indicate in a curve

A. Positioning Pen toolB. Starting to drag (mouse push pressed)C. Dragging to extend direction lines

Position the Pen tool where y'all desire the curve segment to end, and exercise 1 of the post-obit:

• To create a C‑shaped curve, drag in a direction opposite to the previous direction line. Then release the mouse push.



Drawing the second point in a bend

• To create an S‑shaped curve, drag in the same direction as the previous direction line. So release the mouse button.



Drawing an S bend

Press Control/ Ctrl while dragging the handles of a smooth indicate, to make them inequal in length when you're drawing a curve.



Drag unequal handles while drawing curves

A. Opposite handles are equal and pairedB. Cmd/Ctrl pressed, reverse handles are unequal and paired

Continue dragging the Pen tool from different locations to create a series of polish curves. Annotation that you lot are placing anchor points at the kickoff and end of each curve, not at the tip of the curve.

Alt-elevate (Windows) or Pick-elevate (macOS) direction lines to suspension out the direction lines of an ballast point.

Complete the path past doing one of the following:

• To close the path, position the Pen tool over the commencement (hollow) ballast point. A pocket-sized circle appears side by side to the Pen tool pointer when it is positioned correctly. Click or drag to close the path.
• To exit the path open, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (macOS) anywhere abroad from all objects.
• To leave the path open up, y'all can as well select a unlike tool, or choose Select > Deselect.

Yous tin can brand finer adjustments to the closing curve:

• Printing the spacebar while endmost a path to reposition the closing anchor point.
  
• Press Option/ Alt, and break the pairing of handles of the closing anchor point.



Control endmost paths

A. Reposition the endmost ballast signalB. Break the paired handles to adjust the closing anchor point

Reposition ballast points equally y'all draw

Later on you click to create an ballast bespeak, go on the mouse push pressed down, concur downward the spacebar, and drag to reposition the anchor indicate.

Finish drawing a path

Complete a path in ane of the post-obit ways:

• To shut a path, position the Pen tool over the first (hollow) anchor betoken. A small circle appears next to the Pen tool arrow 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.

To get out the path open up, you lot tin besides select a different tool, or choose Select > Deselect.

Draw straight lines followed by curves

Using the Pen tool, click corner points in two locations to create a direct segment.

Position the Pen tool over the selected endpoint. In Illustrator, a catechumen-indicate icon appears next to the Pen tool when information technology is positioned correctly. To gear up the slope of the curved segment you lot'll create next, click the anchor point, and drag the direction line that appears.



Drawing a straight segment followed past a curved segment (part 1)

A. Directly segment completedB. Positioning Pen tool over endpointC. Dragging direction betoken

Position the pen where you want the next anchor signal; then click (and elevate, if desired) the new ballast betoken to complete the curve.



Drawing a straight segment followed past a curved segment (part ii)

A. Positioning Pen toolB. Dragging direction lineC. New curve segment completed

Draw curves followed past straight lines

Using the Pen tool, elevate to create the kickoff smooth indicate of the curved segment, and release the mouse push button.

Reposition the Pen tool where yous want the curved segment to end, drag to complete the bend, and release the mouse button.



Drawing a curved segment followed by a straight segment (part 1)

A. First smooth point of curved segment completed and Pen tool positioned over endpointB. Dragging to complete the bend

Position the Pen tool over the selected endpoint. A convert-point icon appears next to the Pen tool when it is positioned correctly. Click the ballast betoken to convert the shine betoken to a corner point.

Reposition the Pen tool where you desire the straight segment to stop, and click to complete the straight segment.



Cartoon a curved segment followed by a directly segment (part 2)

A. Positioning Pen tool over existing endpointB. Clicking endpointC. Clicking adjacent corner point

Draw two curved segments connected past a corner

Using the Pen tool, drag to create the commencement smooth point of a curved segment.

Reposition the Pen tool and drag to create a curve with a 2d smooth point; so press and hold Alt (Windows) or Option (macOS) and elevate the direction line toward its opposing end to ready the gradient of the next curve. Release the cardinal and the mouse button.

This process converts the smooth signal to a corner bespeak past splitting the management lines.

Reposition the Pen tool where you want the second curved segment to finish, and drag a new smooth betoken to consummate the second curved segment.

Drawing ii curves

A. Dragging a new smooth pointB. Pressing Alt/Option to divide direction lines while dragging, and swinging direction line upC. Upshot after repositioning and dragging a third time

The Curvature tool simplifies path creation and makes drawing piece of cake and intuitive. This tool enables you to create, toggle, edit, add, or remove smooth or corner points. You lot don't have to switch between different tools to work rapidly and precisely with paths.

Select the Curvature tool ().

Drib ii points on the artboard, and then view the prophylactic band preview display the shape of the resulting path depending on where y'all hover your mouse.

Note: Condom-banding is turned on by default in the tool. To plow information technology off, use preference setting: Preferences > Selection & Ballast Display > Enable Safe Band.

Utilize the mouse to drib a point or tap to create a smooth point. To create a corner bespeak, double-click or press the Alt central while clicking or tapping.



A. By default, smooth points are created for curvesB. To create a corner point, double-click or press the Alt key while dropping a betoken

You can perform several actions:

• Option (macOS) / Alt (Windows) + click to proceed adding points to an existing path or shape.
• Double-click or double-tap a signal to toggle the point between smoothen or corner points.
• Click a point or tap it and then drag the point to move information technology.
• Click or tap a signal and press Delete to delete the indicate. The bend is maintained.
• Press the Esc key to stop drawing.
  

Condom Band preview

The Pen tool and the Curvature tool display a preview of the path that will exist drawn from the previous anchor point to the current position of the pointer.

Using the Pen tool or the Curvature tool, click in one case on the artboard to draw a smooth point, and elevate the mouse to create the handles as required.

Annotation: When y'all draw a polish point, the reverse handles are e'er equal and paired. Press Command / Ctrl while dragging the handles of a smooth point, to create handles that are diff in length (pairing remains intact).

Release the mouse button. When you move the mouse pointer across the artboard, a path is displayed indicating what will be fatigued if yous choose to driblet an anchor signal at the location of the mouse pointer.



A. First anchor betoken and its handlesB. Rubber Band preview of the path betwixt the starting time anchor point and the mouse arrow

When the preview displayed is the path that you lot wanted to describe, click the location, and Illustrator draws the path as previewed.

When the preview is on, pressing Esc stops showing the preview and ends the path. This is the same activity as hitting the keyboard shortcut P while working with the Pen tool (with the preview feature off).

Turn the Rubber Band preview on or off:

Open thePreferences dialog (Ctrl + G)

Browse to theSelection and Anchor Display tab

Select or clear the desired selection(due south):

• Enable Safety Ring for Pen Tool
  
• Enable Rubber Band for Curvature Tool
  

The Pencil tool lets yous depict open and closed paths every bit if y'all were cartoon with a pencil on paper. It is most useful for fast sketching or creating a hand-drawn look. One time y'all draw a path, you can immediately modify information technology if needed.

Anchor points are set downwardly equally you lot draw with the Pencil tool; you lot practice non decide where they are positioned. Withal, you can conform them once the path is consummate. The number of anchor points prepare down is determined by the length and complexity of the path and past tolerance settings in the Pencil Tool Preferences dialog box. These settings command how sensitive the Pencil tool is to the movement of your mouse or graphics-tablet stylus.

Click and hold the Shaper tool (). Select the Pencil tool.



Position the tool where you desire the path to begin, and drag to draw a path. The Pencil tool () displays a minor 10 to indicate drawing a freeform path.

As you drag, a dotted line follows the pointer. Ballast points announced at both ends of the path and at various points along information technology. The path takes on the current stroke and fill attributes, and remains selected by default.

Draw constrained or unconstrained straight segments using the Pencil tool

You tin use the pencil tool to draw constrained or unconstrained straight segments.

• Constrained straight segments: Hold the Shift primal, and then use the Pencil tool to depict straight segments constrained to 0, 45 or 90 degrees. While cartoon a direct segment, the directly-segment cursor () is displayed.

• Unconstrained straight segments: Hold the Option/ Alt central to draw unconstrained straight segments. However, to draw a polyline path:
  1. Describe a line segment.
  2. Do one of the post-obit:
  • Keeping the Shift or Choice/ Alt cardinal pressed, place the cursor at the endpoint of the line. When the path-continuation cursor () is displayed, click the mouse push button and draw another line.
  • Keeping the mouse push pressed, release and press the Shift or Option/ Alt key, and depict the next segment.

Select the Pencil tool ().

Position the tool where you want the path to begin, and commencement dragging to depict a path.

After y'all've begun dragging, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (macOS). The Pencil tool displays a small-scale circle () to point that you're creating a closed path.

When the path is the size and shape you want, release the mouse push button (but not the Alt or Option cardinal). After the path closes, release the Alt or Pick primal.

Y'all don't have to position the cursor over the starting point of the path in order to create a airtight path; if yous release the mouse button in some other location, the Pencil tool will close the shape by creating the shortest possible line back to the original point.

Yous can edit any path using the Pencil tool and add freeform lines and shapes to whatever shape.

Add to a path with the Pencil tool

Select the Pencil tool ().

Position the pencil tip on an endpoint of the path.

Yous tin tell you lot're close plenty to the endpoint when the minor x next to the pencil tip disappears.

Drag to continue the path.

Connect two paths with the Pencil tool

Select both paths (Shift-click or drag around the two with the Pick tool).

Select the Pencil tool ().

Position the arrow where y'all desire to begin from 1 path, and offset dragging toward the other path. The Pencil tool displays a small merge symbol () to indicate you're adding to the existing path.

Drag onto the endpoint of the other path and release the mouse button.

For all-time results, drag from ane path to the other every bit if you were but continuing the paths in the direction they were created.

Reshape paths with the Pencil tool

Select the path you want to change.

Position the Pencil tool on or nearly the path to redraw.

You tin can tell you're shut enough to the path when the minor 10 disappears from the tool.

Elevate the tool until the path is the desired shape.



Using the Pencil tool to edit a closed shape

Depending on where you lot begin to redraw the path and in which direction you drag, you may get unexpected results. For example, you may unintentionally modify a closed path to an open path, modify an open path to a closed path, or lose a portion of a shape.

Double-click the Pencil tool () to prepare any of the following options:

Fidelity

Controls how far yous have to move your mouse or stylus before a new anchor signal is added to the path. The Fidelity slider has 5 presets y'all can choose from. The leftmost slider preset (Accurate) is most authentic for cartoon paths. The rightmost slider preset (Smooth) creates the smoothest paths. Choose a preset that suits your drawing needs best.

Fill New Pencil Strokes

Applies a fill to pencil strokes you draw afterward selecting this pick, but not to existing pencil strokes. Remember to select a fill earlier you describe the pencil strokes.

Alt/ Option Key Toggles To Smooth Tool Pick

With this checkbox enabled, while using the Pencil tool or the Brush tool, y'all tin can printing Alt (Windows) or Option (macOS) to switch to the Smoothen tool.

Close Paths When Ends Are Within: _ Pixels

When the endpoints of a path you lot are drawing are in close proximity and within a certain predefined number of pixels of each other, the path-shut cursor () is shown. When you release the mouse push, such a path is closed automatically.You can gear up the predefined number of pixels using this choice.

Edit Selected Paths

Determines whether or not you can modify or merge a selected path when you are within a certain distance of it (specified with the next pick).

Within: _ pixels

Determines how close your mouse or stylus must be to an existing path in order to edit the path with the Pencil tool. This pick is only available when the Edit Selected Paths selection is selected.
