Determine the points where the curve will be drawn using the pen tool function.

To use the Pen Tool, select the Pen Tool menu on the left. Then, tap the screen to set the starting point for drawing a curve.

Tapping a different location sets the next point. The previous point is connected by a straight line.

Tapping the next point and holding down the screen while moving will connect the two points by a curve. A "handle" will appear, allowing you to adjust the shape of the curve.

The direction of the "handle" indicates the direction in which the curve extends from that point. The length of the "handle" indicates how far it extends in that direction.

Tapping the starting point will connect the starting point with a straight line. The curve will close, creating a single shape.


Adjusting the shape of the curve at each point

To adjust the shape of the curve at a specific point, select the point and select the leftmost option in the menu below. From the resulting screen, select the "Joint" option. 

If you select the second icon, the "handles" on both sides of the curve will point in exactly opposite directions, while maintaining the same size.

If you select the third icon, the "handles" on both sides of the curve will point in exactly opposite directions, but you can adjust their sizes individually.

If you select the fourth icon, you can adjust the size and direction of both "handles" individually. 


Change the position and color of objects, etc.

With an object selected, press and drag your finger across the screen to change its position.

The menus at the top right of the screen allow you to change the color of the object's body and outline.


 Once you're familiar with these features, you'll be able to draw most objects using the pen tool. Get familiar with the features.
