So I had a student in the class ask a really great question about the curvature tool.
So I had to kind of demonstrate that for you.
So you have the pen tool over here but you also have this curvature tool which can be very helpful and
to added this hard to draw curves that are sometimes difficult just using the pen tool.
So I'm going to first demonstrate a little trick Sonoda get the rectangle tool to go ahead draw the
rectangle to make sure it's just a stroke and I can go and select the object and click back on the curvature
tool right here and you'll notice you'll have this little round points where all the anchor points are
it's going to be able.
I'm going to double click once and it creates a curve out of that one point.
So I get to go back in time.
It's going to go control Z.
I try to get on this corner.
You can kind of see just double click and what's really neat about this is I can turn a square into
a perfect circle really quickly.
So I get a double click this little round and point and I get a double click the one on the opposite
corner and there is a perfect circle using there for curvature tool a little off and beats on a perfect
circle but it demonstrates how you can use the curvature tool.
So let's keep experimenting.
I'm just going to draw a straight line
and go ahead and grab my curvature overhand select and then grab my curvature tool so you can see how
I select a certain point.
Give me the chance to curve that line.
So if I click once click again complete the shape I now have four different points.
And make some adjustments to make that straight line.
Circle
just like that.
And you can go back with the direct selection tool or you can go back with the curvature tool and get
a little bit of a more smooth bend with your curves.
So check out that curvature tool experiment with it do some really neat things and make some much more
smoother curves that you could just trying to do it manually with a pen tool.
It could be a bear.
But using the curvature tool will help make this a lot easier to make.
