Pen Tool Tutorials (Optional)
The pen tool is one of the most useful tools in Illustrator, but can also be the hardest to get the hang of. You are going to use the following template based activities to learn how the pen tool works.
Open each of the Tutorial Template files one at a time and complete the activities on the document. Notice that you are working in a second layer and the first layer that has the instructions and guides is locked.
Before you start working, set the fill color to "none" and the stroke color to a bright color (not black) so it is easier to see your lines.
