First we will draw a shape with fill on stroke off. This shape is very messy, but can easily be fixed with the pencil.

We will click on a point, and not letting go of the mouse, drag across as if drawing between two points.

Once you have drawn from point to point the shape will re-adjust itself.

You can also use the pencil tool to fix wobbly lines and uneven shapes.

Now we can move onto the next tutorial on using blends in illustrator.
