  1. Continue drawing by dragging from the anchor point at G to the red dot.




  2. Drag from point H to the red dot.




The next part of the path needs to be straight, so you’ll remove the leading direction handle.


  1. Move the pointer back over point H. When the convert-point icon appears ( ) next to the
    pointer, click to remove the direction handle.


Note
Once again, to make it easier to focus on the current point you are creating, the figures
show the other anchor points and artwork as dimmed.


  1. Click point I to create a new anchor point.


The next part of the path needs to be curved, so you will need to add a leading direction handle
to point I.


  1. Move the Pen tool pointer over point I again. When the convert-point icon appears ( ) next to
    the pointer, press and drag from point I up to the red dot to add a leading direction handle.
