: How to draw a smooth line (small in some places, large in others) like in this image Check the image I attached above. I need to design a different logo. But need to draw it like this

@Caterina889

Simply draw your paths then use the Width Tool:



You can click-drag a stroke to alter its width in Illustrator CS5 or CS6.

One way to make it is to construct every line from curves with Pen tool. I'd say a good approach is to start with a traditional pen-and-paper sketch, showing which parts of the lines are thick or thin, and then duplicating it in vector form in Illustrator.



Someone handy with a pressure sensitive tablet should be able to reproduce good weighed lines with the brush tools too, but it might be a bit tricky to find proper settings for the brush.
