For this project, I create a simplified version of a hammer by using the PEN tool. This Adobe Illustrator 2024 video is all about how to use the powerful pen tool. I demonstrate one of many ways to illustrate a hammer. Personally, I love creating simplified components of an object in this particular manner.
