12,624 PointsStuck creating the curve on the Moon Icon from 6:46 onwards
Forgive me for being very very slow, but I'm completely stumped in Pen Tools video from 6:46 onwards. I do what Mat says but Illustrator does something completely different on my screen.
"... And now while holding alt, delete the bezier curve for the next point, select in the middle [but he's not selecting in the middle - or is he?, click and drag out, and release"
I follow these instructions, but the curve I'm creating is very different, as can be seen in the screenshot

"And then again connect those final points [what final points??]"
It's probably my fault rather than the instructions, but I'm very very confused.
Send halp ;_;
Thx ~Jay

13,600 PointsI can see why everyone is struggling with this. Trying to create the crescent of the moon is really difficult.
I tried that Bezier game and really struggled with the heart shape too. I tried to do it in Illustrator too but the commands don't seem to work and an error "Please use the convert anchor point tool on an anchor point of a path" comes up. Can anyone even convert that into anything that makes sense?

12,624 PointsNevermind, done it! Saw Mat do things with his mouse that he wasn't narrating in the video and fixed it.
