    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 the 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.

                     Drawing a Simple Tree
                     To create a simple tree using a pencil tool, follow these steps:

                     Step   1     Select the Pencil Tool (N) from the toolbar.

                     Step   2     Draw the tree trunk by sketching a vertical shape.

                     Step  3      Select the trunk and colour it brown.

                     Step  4      Draw a tree shape (canopy) above the trunk.

                     Step  5      Select the tree shape and colour it green.

                     Step  6      Refine the shape using the Smooth Tool if needed.
                     Step   7     Save your drawing as AI, PNG or SVG.

                     Similarly, you can create different elements like mountains, clouds etc.
