How do you draw curved shapes in Adobe Illustrator CS?
Draw Curved Paths If you want to add some curves to a path, begin creating a path as if you were creating a straight path with the Pen tool. (Click to place your first anchor point.) Next, click and drag elsewhere within the document to initiate a curve. Continue to click and drag to create curved line segments. Notice the direction handles extending from the anchor point as you drag: These handles define the curve shape on each side of an anchor point. To edit a curve, you have several options depending on what part of the curve you want to manipulate. You can select the Direct Selection tool, click an anchor point, and then translate. You can also adjust tangency with a click and drag on a direction point (at the end of a direction handle). Simply rotate the handle or push the handle away from or toward the anchor point.
