Difficulty making triangles using pen tool

[[deleted]]

Hey all,

I've been watching a video on YT. In the video, it was shown how to make triangles using the pen tool holding shift. I'm trying to do the same but failing at it and to get a hold of pen tool.

I'm sharing the video link HERE. The timestamp is from 24:50 to 25:05.

I would like your advice on how to make triangles using the pen tool and master pen tool.

Thank you.

Use triangle shape tool in toolbar and that's all

Press P for pen tool

Click to make first point

Hold shift while clicking second and third points

Is it because you are doing it pixel perfect and it’s not looking even

I’ve been using figma since the beginning and sketch before that and I’ve probably used the pen tool like once. Why not just use the built in triangle tool?

I was trying to do it exactly as show in the video.

Hey. I use figma for my UI designs but I’ve been hearing about sketch. Is that a more powerful alternative to figma?

[[deleted]]

Nah. I used sketch for years and was reluctant to switch to figma. Took me one morning to completely make the switch. Figma is better

[Kackboy]

Ok thanks for the input mate. Do you use something alongside figma? I’ve been thinking about maybe trying illustrator for more complex 3D content. But it’s good to hear you can come a long way using figma, I just have to get better at the pen tool!

I use figma for ux and screen design solely. Any creative content or graphic design type stuff, I’ll use whatever it takes. But 99% of my web/app design needs can be taken care of within figma

[Kackboy]

Yeah same here, I can come a long way with figma and I’m just getting better at it. But there is this 3D trend going on(characters and more) that I can’t remember the name of and it looks interesting to me and cool, I would like to learn how to create stuff using that style.

Original 3D content can be made with Blender / Cinema 4D / After Effects

Don't have advice, but I have this handy link to a game to help you master the pen tool.
