MDIA 1002 Mona: Why use the pen tool over the line, shapes, paintb...: Dubbed as the most powerful tool in Illustrator, the pen tool is used to create lines, curves and shapes. As a single tool capable of performing the task of many other tools in illustrator.
It can be used to create countless lines, curves and shapes, and serves as the building block for illustration and design. The use of the pen is perfected through practice. Unlike may graphics software tools that have clear use limitations, the pen tool is extremely flexible and encourages creativity. One of the reasons the pen tool is so powerful is because shapes are fully editable during and after creation.
The many functions available by the pen tool makes it a step above the rest of other drawing tools available in adobe illustrator.
