In my Graphic design class, first time in the class, the entire class had to complete the entire Bézier game before you could work in adobe illustrator lol

I have a pen tool trick I discovered, when you break the handle with ALT, try to make it as small to possible in the angle you want to draw next to avoid having those annoying sharp curves, with that you can really use it on anything. I managed to do the cloud in 5 nodes

I did the paperclip in 8 using the heart-like method. I'm new to the pen tool and I'm quite impressed what you can do with it! (EDIT) Paperclip: 8/10 Wrench: 8/10 Cloud: 5/8 (Least nodes used) Head: 12/16 Duck: 9/12 Hat: 7/11 (Could've done it in 6 but made a mistake) S-shape: 8/12 [At this point I stopped] I'm well aware of the fact that they aren't very beautiful but it works...

To get 10 on the paper clip you make a line going straight from one side to another on the smallest bend and curve it. This video was really helpful!

Thanks for this! How do you create 'perfect' curves that are exactly repeatable, because the bezier handle's movements are not fixed? The angles can be fixed but not the extensions/lengths.
