Teaching Students To Use The Pen Tool!!

The pen tool is undoubtedly the single most frustrating tool in all of Illustrator. If you don't agree with this statement, then you are a freak who needs to be studied by scientists.

Once you master the pen tool yourself, it can be even more maddening to try to teach to students.

Here is slightly boring, but pretty helpful video about using the pen tool. You can use this to teach yourself, so you can have a clear instruction to demonstrate, or just show this to your class.


After that very helpful snoozville, here is a just plain relaxing, extremely satisfying Illustrator speed drawing. 


I hope you enjoyed this little entry, and found it helpful. In the future I will be presenting the student work from this project.
