The Pen Tool is the very foundation of Adobe Illustrator, and I think designers handicap themselves when they don't learn to use it to its fullest extent. Even if you decide to draw with a different tool, understanding the Pen Tool will let you use those other tools more effectively. That is why I have dedicated an entire class to this one Illustrator tool. By the end of this class, you will be able to use this powerful tool to create the designs of your dreams. And also illustrations of your favorite animal. :)
I begin this class with the very basics—no prior knowledge required! Once you're comfortable with the basics, we'll move on to fine-tuning your path, best practices, tips and tricks, and everything you need to know to master the pen tool. While I am gearing this class towards absolute beginners, I hope even experienced users will find tidbits to improve their Illustrator skills as well.
