This tutorial covers how to use the pen tool inside Adobe Illustrator. This tutorial is specifically made to show you how to use the pen tool in the most efficient way possible in order to reduce the number of points you create, and increase the amount of control you have with fine tune adjustments of those points.
There are many different possible ways to use the pen tool inside Illustrator, but the method shown in this video is generally considered to be one of the most technically correct, and therefore the best to use when dealing with very exacting design work like logos and typography.
Some quick tips are to always hold shift when creating your points (except in specific circumstances pointed out in this video) to make sure that the arcs on your lines align themselves properly. Basically you always want to pull your curves in a pure vertical or horizontal manner. Also only put pen tool points on the beginning, middle, and end of a curve. Don't place points in a section that is continually curving because it will likely just end up complicating your paths. An example of this is the center point of the "S" shape as demonstrated in this tutorial.

There needs to be more tutorials like this one, extremely in depth, where you explain ever click of your mouse and every tool. I know that intermediates may find it unnecessary, but when you're just trying to understand basics at an absolute beginner level, it's hard to follow some of the tutorials that professionals put up on RUclips. Thanks for taking it slow! I learned more here than if I would have watched any other tutorial. Just thought to share my appreciation!
Awesome to hear, thank you :)
i could not agree more
Matt Borchert I do agree on this as well. You explain it so well , I feel it way easier to understand then others who put the same content but not so helpful "To know what's happening."
He did a very good job imo. Explaining the basics step by step. English is not my first language and I have no experience in using DAWs
FINALLY, I understand how to use that goddamn pen tool. This is the best introductory tutorial on the pen tool I have seen, and I've seen a LOT. THANK YOU!!!
LMAO
Blakey Don't stop making soft. I wished I started as early as you. You have a lot of years to learn!
I love how you explain the steps so clearly, your articulation is so good!
Man, you don't know how grateful I am right now! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
SO helpful. i feel dumb i didn't use the pen tool before this lmfao
+Johnny Hanel No need to feel dumb lol, glad you found it helpful!
Really, I saw a guy re-construct a logo with the pen tool I was like AAAHHH...LMAO
Finally soone who speaks in a calm way and getting to the point asap
Very helpful, definitely going to make myself use the pen tool in more of an efficient way. Thanks!
+Jake Round Cool, glad you found it helpful.
Totally agree with you.

Dead set I am nearly crying!! I have been stuck for weeks trying to learn the pen tool for an assessment and I feel like I have watched hours and hours of tutorials but nothing got me to understand how to use the tool myself (not just in the examples they provide)... Until this! Thank you thank you thank you for being so clear with your explanations and great topics!

I appreciate how there’s no ads, thanks.
This is the first time I really got it and understand how to use the pen tool . Very good teacher the reason I understood was because you went slow to show how to learn and although you’re right about using the ellipse tool to make your circles using a circle to trace the pen tool is a good place to be in for beginners and practice. I will apply this to use and practice from now on. Thank you
