city_ofthe_south: What I do is basically what you said... I draw a rough shape of what I want and in the next move I draw it more accurately. It's just my way to do it, I don't know if it's faster...

What you see in the corners is simple: First I draw, for example, a 90º corner with a single anchor point. Then I add two anchor points in each side of it. The 1st anchor point is then deleted which will give you a rounded corner that you can open or close with the anchor points you've added. The right clicks you see it's me adding the anchor points to the Path. It gives you more control in some forms, like for example the headlights/taillights that you see in the movie.

Was it clear? Any help that I can give you just ask

By the way, nice renderings.

Cheers

Dang, couldn't get any better than the artist himself. I follow you 100% and it makes sense. If I were coming to that corner I would click in the last point in Ai or alt click I think in PS. This way when I pull the next curve it has no impact on the one before. Lots of ways to get things done with Adobe products and it's always interesting to learn a new one. Great video.
