3 Illustrator pen tool tricks and tips. Tom with Satori Graphics back with another graphic design Illustrator tutorial; today I have 3 very cool and useful Illustrator pen tool tricks put together in an Illustrator pen tool tutorial.

The pen tool is one of the most fundamental and important tools in Illustrator, if not the most fundamental, and these 3 tricks for the pen tool will help save you time hassle and probably some money if you are a graphic designer by trade; time is money after all! So I would suggest that you will be able to utilise at least one of my 3 Illustrator tips with my selection of pen tool tricks!

I know the Illustrator pen tool can be daunting and it may take a lot of design hours within Illustrator to get even slightly good with the pen tool, and to totally master it, I have no clue. I certainly am not a pen tool master, but my 3 Illustrator pen tool tricks and tips will really help you out with your graphic design work. What seems to get me in a spot of trouble is the pen tool curves, not having them perfectly fluid and as I would like the pen tool path to go. So for example the smooth tool as you will find in this Illustrator pen tool tutorial, is a great tool for making your paths with kinks and imperfections sooth and fluid.

If you guys like this type of video where I explore hidden or not easy to find tricks and tips in Illustrator, let me know and I will make more tutorials similar to this one. It doesn’t only have to be pen tool tricks and tips, it can be based around any tool in Adobe Illustrator. I hd the idea to make this tutorial as I myself was using the pen tool to design something and was utilising the smooth tool on a pen tool path, I realised that I hadn’t ever made an Illustrator tutorial based around it and thought of 2 more add-ons for the pen tool and wallah!

Here are the time stamps for the 3 Illustrator pen tool tricks in this tutorial:
