Illustrator pen tool

I experimented with the pen tool, both curves and straight lines. I used the color swatch, fill and strokes to change the colours. I could change the size of the lines and patterns of the shapes. It took a bit to get the handle of the curve tool but I managed in the end.

Illustrator and Shapes

I tested out the pen tool, shape tool and dialogue box (where I just edit a shape) and colored them all in with the filter tool.  The shift key keeps the adjustments all equal, and the polygon tool allows me to type in the amount of points of the shape and automatically gives me the shape.
