Pencil straight lines
Although drawing straight lines with the Pen tool is easier, now you can also
draw polyline paths with the Pencil tool (see this chap-ter's
CC
intro for more
about this).

Atlanta illustrator Laura Coyle created this bottle as a design preview for a
foil-stamped card filled with liquid and with a floating worm. For the
background of the label, she drew four overlapping rectangles. Selecting
the rectangles, she opened the Pathfinder panel. She Option/Alt-clicked the
Unite icon to create a compound shape. Switching to the Direct Selection
tool, Coyle selected a horizontal pair of points in the object. She pressed
Option/Alt and clicked twice on one of the Live Corner widgets to cycle
through the corner types until she got to the Chamfer. She dragged the
Live Corner widget inward to change both corner types to Chamfer. She
repeated this twice to create two more pairs of Chamfer corners.
