Once you have drawn a shape or curve you can adjust it by holding down the cmd key ( ctrl key) or jumping to the Node Tool, and then moving a selected node or its off-curve control handles emanating from the node. With the Pen Tool selected, you can adjust how the curve will be drawn by selecting a smooth (Bézier), smart, polygon or straight-line mode on the context toolbar. These nodes let you reshape your drawn curve in a variety of ways including closing the curve to make an irregular shape. The Pen Tool allows you to plot out a curve by connecting together individually positioned dots, called nodes.
