: Elongated shapes in Adobe Illustrator How would one make an elongated shape in Adobe Illustrator? Much like the icon I listed below. I've circle which parts of the icon I'm thinking of. Larger

Draw the base anchor by just clicking once with the Pen Tool.
Draw the top anchor by click-dragging with the pen tool
Click the base anchor again.




If you then want to curve the bottom anchor a bit, with the Pen Tool still active, hold down the Option/Alt key and click-drag on top of the bottom anchor to pull out handles, and add a smooth curve to it.

//Option #B


Draw an ellipse
Select the bottom anchor
Double-click the Scale Tool in the Toolbar and enter a reduction percentage
Select the 2 middle anchors and move them upwards until you get the shape you want.




//Option 3


Draw a Circle
Using the Direct Selection Tool (white arrow) click and drag the bottom anchor downward
