The above image is raw lines which we draw at first, and the below image is after applying a smooth tool. Step 10: Here, I draw smooth lines to the entire lines continuously till I get good shapes with smooth we can see the difference in the two images. Whenever we draw a line with a smooth tool, we can find the anchor points adjusting the positions and making the edges smooth, some new anchor points created, and some points are deleted while we draw with the Smooth tool. Step 9: Here, I am drawing the top edge to get a smooth and fine edge, and I continue drawing this process till we get the correct edges. In the starting line, we can find the difference. Just hold click and draw the lines on the rough edges then we can find line get smooth continue this until we get smooth edges.

Step 8: Let’s see how to use the Smooth tool. Now hold ALT, then it will act as a smooth tool. Step 7: We have another option to select the smooth tool, select a brush tool from the toolbar and hold ALT, then it acts as a smooth tool till we finish the smoothing we need to hold alt once we release the ALT key it became as the brush tool. Step 6: We can’t tell that the smooth tool and the direct select tool is the same because we can adjust the edges smooth with the direct select tool, but we can’t smooth the line and rough edges for that process, we need to use the smooth tool, So select smooth tool, go to tools and hold the pencil tool we can get options in that we can select smooth tool. Step 5: Here, we have another option to get fine edges with the help of the direct select tool a shortcut for this tool is A.īy using this tool, we can move and adjust the points to get fine edges
