: How can I add new points to an existing path? I've drawn a path with the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator. I did some other work, but now I want to extend the path with more points. How can

I've drawn a path with the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator. I did some other work, but now I want to extend the path with more points. How can I continue drawing the path where if I click off of the path, it generates a new anchor point and connects it?

I know I could keep adding more points along the existing path using the "add anchor point", but I'd like to keep drawing as if I had never stopped drawing the original path (click a new place on the screen, and the path continues to there).

With the Pen Tool start by clicking the anchor point at the end of the existing path.... then you can continue drawing.

The pen tool icon will have a little / next to it indicate clicking will continue the existing path. If you aren't exactly over the path endpoint, you'll see a * instead, which indicates a new path.

<-- Continue Path vs New Path -->

Probably the easiest way to achieve that is using Blob Brush Tool:
