    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    That is pretty fancy shading, Larry!


    Nice to see you had time to work on some of the tutorial content this month.

    I'm thinking it doesn't make a whole lot of difference which tool you use to make paths, as long as you have total control over the points and point handles, right?

    Okay, I have a dumb trick for everyone:

    Make a QuickShape, simplify it so it's editable, and then make the straight paths into curved ones.

    It can be a very fast way to make complex shapes that look nothing like the QuickShape you began with!





    My Best,
