Making a Point!

In chapter 4, we discovered there are only two types of anchor points, corner and smooth. Knowing how each controls a Bézier curve and path will help us understand where to place them using TCM and PPP.

1. Corner Anchor Point: You'll place a corner anchor point anywhere your art has an apex that comes to a point. These types of anchor points can be used with or without Bézier curve handles pulled out from one or both sides when the transition between two paths doesn't need to be smooth (FIGURE 5.20).

2. Smooth Anchor Point: You'll place a smooth anchor point anywhere your art needs a curve that transitions from one path into the next. This sort of anchor point always uses Bézier curve handles pulled out from both sides to control the shape of the curve (FIGURE 5.21).

FIGURE 5.20 There are a total of 17 corner anchor points within the build shapes of this torch graphic (highlighted in orange). The handle shapes are made mostly from corner anchor points.
