Lesson Info
Variable Width Tool
next I'll walk through a few tools that we can use to make letters, one, starting with your pen tool zoom in here. Mhm. I always click and hold shift when I'm using the pen tool in order to make sure my angles stay at 90°. And you can also hold down option and it'll adjust this the second busy a curve. Mhm. It's a little off come back in actually, I'm gonna changing my stroke color to black so you can actually see what I'm doing. Mm hmm. There we go. So get back on my pen tool and get started again, so just click and shift drag, click, shift drag. I really just keep one hand hovered over the shift key and the other over the cursor.

rag and it'll make parts thicker automatically. Mhm. Of course it looks a little wonky at the beginning and you'll need to adjust accordingly. You can also make sections thinner by using the same strategy. So there we go. This needs to be a little bit center as well, a little bit thicker over here. Yes. Start to see that taking shape. Oh, one of the downfalls of this tool and the main reason I don't use it is you have less control C. When you expand it to a shape, you'll see that it's created a whole bunch of points. And when I walk you through the pentacle and depth, you'll see why you don't need nearly this many points. But if you're strapped for time, it can be a good method. Mm hmm.
