Advanced vectors with the Pen tool
Before you get some practice by implementing our brief, let’s dive deeper into the principles of working with vectors. Vector graphics are one of the main concepts that needs to be studied in detail, as you will definitely use them very often when working with Figma. The topic of this section of the chapter may seem more complex than what you learned earlier. This is why it is highly recommended not only to follow the instructions that you’ll find here but also to practice on your own. Feel free to refer to the following information as many times as you need; try experimenting and getting creative with vectors to master this tool as quickly as possible!
