Starting Pen Tool in Illustrator


Tools used/stuff to be learned

We will be using all of the Pen tool on this lesson. I absolutely love the pen tool because once you get the hang of it and how exactly to use it what you can create will be become limitless. 

We will also learn to use the Direct selection tool and the Selection tool and be able to differentiate between the two. We will then finish up the lesson with the custom shape tool and applying color to the stroke, fill, and using gradients. 



Lets get started!!!
