Learning to use the Pen Tool
Using the pen tool duplicate all four lines on the page. Each pink square represents where you should "click" to add a point. If there are no lines or handles on the point, it is a click only. If there are lines or handles, the lines indicate the direction and approximate length of the click and drag.
Line 1 will be clicks only
Line 2 will be click and drags
Line 3 will be click and drags using the alt key.
Line 4 will be a combination of clicks, click and drags, and click and drag with the alt key.
**Remember, to change direction of a secondary curve you need to hold down the Alt key while keeping down the mouse button.
