In digital graphics, computers draw vector shapes using a collection of points — a sort of connect-the-dots — and most programs use “Bézier curves” to create curved lines around those vector points. You may be familiar with their appearance in design and motion graphics tools, but understanding how they work will take out some of the pain and confusion when you’re trying to create a particular shape. Building off our understanding of vector shapes, this article will demystify designing with Bézier curves.
