I guess? I think most designers are so used to using the pen tools and problem solving with them that they start to become intuitive after a while. There's a bit of a learning curve (pun intended), but I think once you understand how they are implemented in Adobe products, for instance, they become pretty simple.
This Bezier game is excellent practice: https://bezier.method.ac/ https://bezier.method.ac/
- jacobolus 5y agoBéziers never become intuitive, even for professional font designers and illustrators with decades of experience. If you start paying attention you will find that almost every expert regularly makes lumpy curves with them, with lumpiness unrelated to their original artistic intentions, just an artifact of a tool that poorly matches people’s goals and expectations. To always get “fair” curves using Bézier segments requires an extreme amount of effort, and either a very good eye and a lot of experience or some additional tooling that highlights where the lumps are.
