Lesson 5

“
Creating an Illustration with the Drawing Tools

” you'll
learn about the Join tool ( ), which allows you to join two paths at a
corner, keeping the original curve intact.
Note
If you only want to fill the shape with a color, it is not necessary to join
the path to make a closed path. An open path can have a color fill. It is,
however, necessary to join a path if you want a stroke to appear around
the entire fill area.
