Draw curves easily with the Curvature tool in Illustrator

[@FalcoYP]

i think you just saved me from suicide with this tutorial

[@wererich]

Straight, to the point. Perfect and quick tutorial!

Hello Brian. If I'm drawing a path with the curvature tool and want to place a point at coordinates occupied by another path, clicking changes my selection to the existing path. Is there a way to place the point without having to go through the trouble of locking any paths it will overlap? I feel like I've managed it once or twice, but no combination of modifier keys seems to work.

[@mmdestiny3]

Ah, I figured it out. In the event anyone else has the same issue, if you click and hold at a place not already occupied by a path you can drag your point on top of the underlying path, release the mouse button, and your point will stick and you can continue drawing.

I have cs6, is there a way to get to the curvature tool on this version or does in not exist? It is not in my tool bar

[@peppepop]

Nope unfortunately...

I love this tool, amazing at what it does. I'm an abstract artist (painter) and I use Illustrator to create custom shapes that I can cut out and make templates.

[@BrianWoodTraining]

+mateus pollonio Hi Mateus - I'm running Illustrator CC 2015, but the Curvature tool has been in a few versions of Illustrator CC (Illustrator CC 2014.1+)

[@federicobacher]

This is what happens when you don't keep up on the latest tools (or even old ones you missed). I've been using the pen tool for everything forever! I think I might like using the curvature a better though. :D

It's awesome and is being incorporated into other Adobe tools like Adobe XD (with a few differences).
