I don't seem to be able to draw a moon shape (the sort of moon shape you usually see in children's books - not a full moon which is a circle, but a half moon). My particular moon shape is orientated like a kind of U shape.

I clicked with pen tool, then dragged, then clicked the pen tool again and dragged, which gave me the 1st 'U' shape I needed, but when I try to join the shape I get the curve facing the wrong way.

(Also as an aside: I seem to battle with removing the direction points, if I need to remove a single one)

Any help on this much appreciated!
