[@wildkims2008]

this is a game changing tutorial for me. I have just been using the pen tool in tiny increments to make curves, since the curved pen tool was hit or miss. This shaves hours off. Thanks!

[@hong857643210]

these 3 minutes saved my life!!! thanks!!!

[@oniromanxer2231]

u are a legend. hearting people on a 3 years old video. btw your tut helped me a lot. i wish u a very great day

[@repinger]

Thank you so much. I've been stressing over this tool for about 2 weeks. But not anymore after I watched this video.

[@margaretmcwilliams1169]

This tool is a revolution for me. I am using to straighten seams on patterns I am drawing from flattened 3d pieces imported from blender. It allows me to straighten the seams while maintaining the volume of the garment.

[@letmeeatyourfrontallobe]

thank you so much! i am actually taking a illustrator course and i didnt pay attention in class yesterday and the homework was to make cards suits with the curvature tool! thx so much for making this!

[@sachincolambage2975]

Brilliant! Simple but I never realised to make it entirely with alt click! Thanks for this simple but powerful tute!

[@CuriousFox_]

You saved my life with this great and essencial video. Thank you so much!

[@sonnyogilvie2887]

Wow, I'm impressed! After watching countless tutorials on the Adobe Illustrator curvature pen tool, this is the one. Can't believe it doesn't have more views than it does. Give this guy some likes please and subscribe to his channel...

[@nizamuddinshaikh3185]

So simple, so useful a tool! Thank you for precious guidance. 👍😃

[@nirmansarkar]

So useful! Wow I could have never thought of it.

[@deceitdeceitdeceit]

this is beautiful, i never even noticed the curvature tool

[@warningblondthinking]

Thanks for this quick and very informative tutorial!

[@mortalkaiban]

Thank you so much I've been struggling with this for so long.

[@jabulaniharvey-stinkycheese]

small tip to those tracing: use two layers - the base layer contains the image(dimmed in the layer options) and the upper layer (in keyline mode) for tracing....to dim the image layer double click on the layer in the layers panel and set the dim image option in the resulting dialog; to set keyline in the tracing layer, hold control and click the (eye) icon on the relevant trace layer ( thereafter the image appears dimmed below a keyline version of your vectors whenever you trace...no need to worry about the fill or stroke until you finish editing the geometry)

[@anirudhjain7030]

Dude thanks !!! Really appreciate it

Thank you

[@m.jagadishan6874]

Thank you..Sir.

[@Imustfly]

The behavior of the curvature tool is very similar to how my embroidery digitizing software allows me to manipulate curves. I currently use Illustrator CS6,...is there any way to add that new curvature tool to my version? Just asking....ya never know.

[@Mohamed-uk5xr]

thank you

[@bhupendrabhattarai]

Awesome Tool..

Please made a video on pen tool...you are good teacher...

[@PetraBachova]

Great!

[@nanceynoway9275]

How do you create a new curved line without closing the path? The curvature tool won't release unless I close the path but I am only looking to draw a single curved line.

[@AkramD]

thanks bro

[@rendi7964]

thankyou sir

[@jazuuriel7749]

when I use the curve tool and try to make another anchor point it won't let me put a new one it'll automatically try to connect to another anchor point how can I stop this?what am I doing wrong?

[@nb08]

I think your translate to HIndi request is not necessary because your English is already so easy to understand.Thanks.

[@Lokesh3152]

nice

[@100salonichoudhary]

I am new in illustrator, and yesterday I was using curvature ,I was totally confused with the use of curvature ..Bcoz I don't how to use and how to stop it ..From this video, I get the idea how to use but how to stop this from which option in window I don't know.

[@ahlansiddikaaliza8160]

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@sandiflow]

So that's how you use it!

[@amerasahmed]

wow

[@MyplayLists4Y2Y]

Close it up at the end... how!?

[@mahnoorfatima2198]

how to use this tool IN adobe illustrator Cs 6?

[@jerrythejerk5964]

I can't drag the linesss

[@shreyashachoudhary480]

❤️

[@aabidomar3766]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooood

[@Marina.apinha]

I love this toll but is totaly impossible to use the shortcut. It simply doesn't work, at all

[@lovebeloved3020]

👍 👌 👍

[@JoseWela]

welcome to corel draw. You could do this since more than 15 years ago...

[@absolutedgefindout726]

That's true, but still there are few things lacking in CorelDRAW. But I am an admirer of CorelDRAW since CorelDRAW's selection has no match.

[@mishajflex7323]

true

[@dayafte5538]

1:14. 1:59

[@atulraut4158]

Life seems easier now 😂

[@nb08]

I thought it was hard to use

[@Basket69]

I preferred the original style, wish there was a way to revert

[@M3lsheR]

What is this tool's equivalent in illustrator? The curvature pen tool in illustrator is horrible compared to this.

[@wdora930]

Corel draw already have something like that century ago 🙃🙃🙃🙃

[@thinkingaloud7925]

It's the bat sign, not batman logo.....I'm offended.
Just kidding 😆

[@4HYRULEM4STER]

I fucking hate this shit so much how to turn it off?

[@PaoloPiovesan]

Am I the only one thinking this tool is just stupid? i can make the same with the old one with less points in less time... don't really see why this should be better in any way. Already from the first point I draw I find this much worse than the old one because you can't decide a fix direction.
thanks anyway for the tutorial.

[@Basket69]

completely agree mate

[@jabulaniharvey-stinkycheese]

the tool provides one more option for curve control....it is not restrictive....think of it as an extra new habit to pick up

[@KundoKun]

it's more easy/intuitive for beginners, i guess.

[@wahidabdul9216]
