Drawing and editing paths with the Pen Tool
We need the Pen Tool, which is up top in your Toolbar, or you can use the shortcut G.
Click on the Composition Viewer panel to begin drawing a path.
Create an initial point right around where the butterfly is.
Next, we'll make another point for our path.
If you click and drag, you'll create a Bezier curve with handles.
To snap the handles to a 45-degree increment, you can hold Shift while doing this.
We can always revise this path after we draw it, so there's no pressure to make it perfect.
I'll add a couple more points with curves to create a flowing path.
With the Pen Tool still selected, we can click and drag these points around to change the position.
You can also drag the handles to adjust the curve and angle.
Clicking on a path will add a new point.
You should see a + icon next to the Pen Tool when hovering over the path.
To remove a point, hold Ctrl and click on it.
You'll see a - sign next to the Pen Tool icon while hovering.
Holding Alt will bring up the Convert Vertex Tool.
Clicking on a point while it's activated will remove the Bezier handles.
If you click and drag on a point while holding Alt, the curve handles will link and pull to the same length on either side of the curve.
Holding Alt and dragging on a Bezier handle will unlink the handles, and you can have different curves on either side of the point.
