Pen Tool Basics | Two Minute Tutorial

Happy Tuesday everyone! I wanted to change things up a little for this post with a simple, back-to-basics tutorial on how to use the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator. In this tutorial, I go over how to complete a simple shape, how to create a shape with curves (in this example I am using a typeface that I like to clean up a little when I use it), as well as some additional tips and tricks. I also briefly touch on the pathfinder tool. In the future, I plan on creating a full pathfinder tutorial.

Please feel free to let me know what you think and if you found this tutorial helpful! Week in Process #4 will be posted this Thursday, April 8.
