1.
Choose 2 Dish from the Artboard Navigation menu in the lower-left corner of the
Document window. Choose View > Fit Artboard In Window (if necessary).
Looking at the template path, you will see a vertical red dotted line running
through the A and I points. After you draw half of the ice cream dish, you will
copy and reflect it around the red dotted line, then join the two halves together.
2.
Select the Curvature tool (
) in the Tools panel. Click the blue square at point A
to set the starting anchor point.
Note
You do not have to start at the blue square (point A) to draw this shape.
You can set anchor points for a path with the Curvature tool (like the Pen
tool) in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
3.
Press the Shift key, and click on point B (to the left of A). After clicking, release
the key.
4.
Move the pointer away from point B and notice the preview of the curve before
and after point B.
The Curvature tool works by creating anchor points where you click. The drawing
curve will “flex” around the points dynamically. Direction handles are created
when necessary to curve the path for you. If you were to click in this instance, the
curve preview you see would become the drawn path.
