This time, we'll look at combination paths. Download the Pen Tool combo exercise file using the link at the bottom of the page.

Select the Pen Tool on the left and follow these steps to draw the bat wing shape:

• Click on point A, hold the mouse button, and drag to the red dot.
• Click on point B, drag down to the red dot, but don't release the mouse.
• Hold the Alt key and bend the line up to the red dot above, then release the mouse and the Alt key.
• Click on point C, drag down to the red dot, and release.

Since this is an open shape, hold the Control key and click away to deselect it.
