The Pen Tool is an amazing tool which allows you to draw objects and images. Although this tool is extremely beneficial, it is equally frustrating and takes a lot of practice and getting used to. When you use the Pen Tool, instead of creating lines, you are creating paths. Paths allow you to close your lines to make a shape/object. This provides more options to the designer, such as filling in the shape/object with color! Click on the button below to practice the Pen Tool in a game. |
