- Move the pointer away from the point you just created, and you’ll see a line connecting the
first point and the pointer, no matter where you move the pointer.
That line is called the Pen tool preview (or Rubber Band). Later, as you create curved paths, it
will make drawing them easier because it is a preview of what the path will look like. Also
notice that the asterisk has disappeared from next to the pointer, indicating that you are now
drawing a path.
- Move the pointer over the gray dot labeled 2. Click and release to create an anchor point.
You just created a path. A simple path is composed of two anchor points and a line segment
connecting the anchor points. You use anchor points to control the direction, length, and curve
of the line segment.
