Adding arrowheads to paths


You can add arrowheads to both ends of a path using the Stroke panel. There are many different
arrowhead styles to choose from in Illustrator, as well as arrowhead editing options. Next, you’ll
apply arrowheads to the three paths that make up the plants in the background.



  1. Choose View > Fit Aboard In Window.




  2. Click to select the plant path to the left of the swan. Press the Shift key, and click the two plant
    paths to the right of the swan.




  3. With the paths selected, click the word “Stroke” in the Properties panel to open the Stroke
    panel. In the Stroke panel, change only the following options:




Choose Arrow 13 from the Arrowheads menu on the right. This adds an arrowhead to the end
(top) of the line.
Scale (directly beneath where you chose Arrow 13): 120%
