To the person who reading this, do not give up on your dream. One day you will make it. Consistency is the key to success.

Mate. Here are some tips for the pen tool: If you click and drag the first anchor point becomes a curve. If you continue and click without draging the pen you just create a straight anchor, but if you want to continue with a curve path, just hold ALT and click on that anchor and drag the cursor. Also, you are using too many anchor. Try to use less. Finally, you didnt use the anchor point tool (SHIFT C) to round the corners.

To all the beginners out there if there's alternative use that instead of pen tool. But if you need to use it then dont get frustrated while using pen tool. Even for Experts it takes long hours to carve out something nice using pen tool. Patience is the only tip that can save you while using pen tool.

Easily the most hilarious thing I've seen all day! I still suck at using the pen but I've now had laughter today, which is the next best thing! 😂

I'm learning Illustrator ... and, of course, the Pen Tool. I've finally got to the point where I'm beginning to not be so intimidated by it so, naturally, I'm practicing with it more. This is great. Thank you, Dansky!

The pen tool is a big nightmare in Illustrator and it needs a huge amount of practice, thanks a lot Dansky, for making it much easier to cover from the basics to advance. And yes, that crazy banana example was really helpful ha ha ha

The trick with the pen tool is click and drag, click and drag, click and drag… if you need to have a point on one of the curves, click and drag to finish the last curve, then click back on the same point and option-drag (or alt-drag if on PC) to start a new curve in another direction.

To isolate and use one handle for the node: 1) Select the node. 2) Hover your cursor over the node handle you want to use. Don't click the handle yet. 3) Press the 'Alt' key. You will see a small '+' sign. 4) While still holding the 'Alt' key, click on the handle and start moving it around. NOTE: If you click the handle, then hit the 'Alt' key, Illustrator will simply duplicate that part of the path.
