Create an Autoshape 2

Did you read Autoshapes 1 first?

We now have the crude shape but it's very angular and most fish don't have sharp corners.

Lets modify our crude shape. Start by right clicking and select "edit points". Now right click on either of the indicated points and choose "smooth point" This changes the point's properties and should greatly improve the shape.

If you right click and go to "edit points" and click on a smooth point you will see that they have "handles" which adjust the curve. You can also drag any point to reshape the autoshape. We've made it into more of a whale shape and changed the fill.

Practice these techniques before going on to adding and deleting points. (COMING SOON!)
