In my Graphic design class, first time in the class, the entire class had to complete the entire Bézier game before you could work in adobe illustrator lol

Fiiiinalyyyy. Now I can use that tool without stressing out an making loops everywhere!

Really appreciate this. I found using the pen tool so intimidating and annoying. Thanks to you and the game, it feels like I know what I am doing now. Kudos and keep up the quality work.

I did the paperclip in 8 using the heart-like method. I'm new to the pen tool and I'm quite impressed what you can do with it!
(EDIT)
Paperclip: 8/10
Wrench: 8/10
Cloud: 5/8 (Least nodes used)
Head: 12/16
Duck: 9/12
Hat: 7/11 (Could've done it in 6 but made a mistake)
S-shape: 8/12
[At this point I stopped]
I'm well aware of the fact that they aren't very beautiful but it works...

Ive completely missed that alt click trick (used on the heart) this whole time!

[bryanrichter]

this really helped on my first times doing the bezier game.😁

I just realised I've been using the pen tool wrong this whole time haha!

For years I've been reading and watching tutorials to master the pen tool and I always found them difficult and confusing. THANK YOU so much for this video. I can't wait to try it out again and master it by playing that game.

To get 10 on the paper clip you make a line going straight from one side to another on the smallest bend and curve it. This video was really helpful!

Really cool! I just paid for a tutorial on Udemy that isn't nearly as good as his site. He's hit on a perfect way to teach the pen tool(The most difficult tool on Illustrator)

[coolamericano]

I have a pen tool trick I discovered, when you break the handle with ALT, try to make it as small to possible in the angle you want to draw next to avoid having those annoying sharp curves, with that you can really use it on anything. I managed to do the cloud in 5 nodes

Just starting to work with a Wacom tablet. This is a great way to get into a better practice. Thanks a lot!

[Beatsteaks]

Watching lots of different tutorials lately, I can honestly say you're one of the best when it comes to giving the right amount of information, really motivational and with calm, useful commentary that makes it easy listening to you and follow along :) Are you going to do more live streams in the future or have you maybe considered streaming on Twitch, that'd be pretty cool !

It's a great tip for beginners to learn about pen tools.

[factsfeedtv]

I used 8 nodes for the file attachment icon....really excited!

[Sedonartist]

Did this on desktop PC, Win10, Google Chrome. I'm not very good at it. However, I did have some moves to spare when I completed. I'll go through it again to see if I can improve my skills. Thank you!
