What is the pen tool used for?
The Pen tool is used to connect lines and creates paths to form a picture. It is used to create the anchor points that form the basis of the design, and to connect those lines to those points to make the curves and shapes on illustrator.
You can manipulate a path or line in Illustrator by using the pen tool, and click on the anchor points to either curve the shape or move it. By using the selected anchor points to curve, the lines will move with it and the paths will create a new shape.
