                 Pencil Tool

                 The Pencil Tool in Illustrator is great for freehand drawing and making natural shapes easily. It
                 is faster than the Pen Tool for drawing curved lines and smooth paths. You can change stroke
                 thickness, colour, and style to match your design. The Pencil Tool is in the Toolbar, if you don’t see
                 it, press N to activate it.
