In this video, we will be looking at the basics of using the pen tool in Illustrator. I highly recommend you get to know this tool, because it’s also available in Photoshop and InDesign too. Once you have the basics mastered, see Using the Pen Tool in Illustrator: Part 2 for more useful tips.
Rather than me reinventing the wheel in this blog post, there’s an excellent resource on the Envato Tuts blog you should also look at:
Illustrator’s Pen Tool: The Comprehensive Guide.
Among other things, the guide outlines various different functions, useful keyboard shortcuts and how to set up different preferences etc.
