Adobe Illustrator Logo

Adobe Illustrator

Illustrator has a wide variety of drawing tools found in the Toolbar, each allowing you to create in different ways. This tutorial introduces the different drawing tools available. All of the drawing tools create paths. Paths come in the form of a closed path like a square or circle, or an open path like a line. All paths—closed or open—are made up of anchor points, which control the direction and shape of the path, and line segments (or paths) that connect those anchor points.
