Clicking next corner point. Dragging a new smooth point B. Result after repositioning and dragging a third time. It lets you draw open and closed paths as if you were drawing with a pencil on paper.
It is most useful for fast sketching or creating a hand-drawn look. Once you draw a path, you can immediately change it if needed. Anchor points are set down as you draw with the Pencil tool; you do not determine where they are positioned. However, you can adjust them once the path is complete. The number of anchor points set down is determined by the length and complexity of the path and by tolerance settings in the Pencil Tool Preferences dialog box.
These settings control how sensitive the Pencil tool is to the movement of your mouse or graphics-tablet stylus. As you drag, a dotted line follows the pointer.
Anchor points appear at both ends of the path and at various points along it. The path takes on the current stroke and fill attributes, and remains selected by default. For best results, drag from one path to the other as if you were simply continuing the paths in the direction they were created.
Depending on where you begin to redraw the path and in which direction you drag, you may get unexpected results. For example, you may unintentionally change a closed path to an open path, change an open path to a closed path, or lose a portion of a shape. Controls how far you have to move your mouse or stylus before a new anchor point is added to the path. The higher the value, the smoother and less complex the path. Fidelity can range from 0. Controls the amount of smoothing applied when you use the tool.
The higher the value, the smoother the path. Fill New Pencil Strokes. Illustrator only Applies a fill to pencil strokes you draw after selecting this option, but not to existing pencil strokes. Remember to select a fill before you draw the pencil strokes.

The Flare tool creates flare objects with a bright center, a halo, and rays and rings. Use this tool to create an effect similar to a lens flare in a photograph.
Flares include a center handle and an end handle. Use the handles to position the flare and its rings. The center handle is in the bright center of the flare—the flare path begins from this point.

Press the mouse button down to place the center handle of the flare, then drag to set the size of the center, the size of the halo, and to rotate the angle of the rays. Before releasing the mouse, press Shift to constrain the rays to a set angle.
Press Up Arrow or Down Arrow to add or subtract rays. Each element center, halo, rings, and rays in the flare is filled with color at different opacity settings. Specify the Growth of the halo as a percentage of the overall size, and specify the fuzziness of the halo 0 is crisp and is fuzzy. If you want the flare to contain rays, select Rays and specify the number of rays, the longest ray as a percentage of the average ray , and the fuzziness of the rays 0 is crisp and is fuzzy.

Millions of truly wow graphics can be created using multiple applies such as sparkly to starbursts to subtle blurry fog scenes and more.
