7,440 PointsCreating Curve on Moon Icon
Hi everyone!
I'm having a bit of difficulty when creating my moon icon. I get all the way to the part where I've made my first curve, but when I go to do the second part I can't seem to get it. Also when I go to do the "Outline Stroke" step, I get this error message: OSEG.
Not quite sure where I'm going wrong. Can anyone direct me to some more resources on perfecting this?
Thanks!

This will delete the handle that is not being used so you can create a sharp corner at that point instead of a rounded curve. Maybe this GIF will help. After I add the second point and drag out the handles, I hold Alt and click that point to remove the unused handle and create a sharp corner.

12,466 PointsWhat exactly are you having trouble with? What do you mean by the second part? Thanks.

7,440 PointsHi Jacob,
The part I'm referencing happens at the 7:25 mark of the video for "pressing alt". At that point you've done the first stroke (inner stroke) for the shadow, and are about to do the second. Does that help to clarify?
Thanks,
Alison
