If you want to get into graphic design, chances are, no matter how much you try to avoid it, at some point you’re going to have to use the pen tool. If you want to pick up this skill but are having trouble, check out The Bezier Game, the online game for mastering the pen tool.

This is a strangely addictive, deceptively simple game. All you do is trace shapes with the pen tool. That’s it. For those that don’t know, the pen tool ISN’T just a drag to form a line sort of thing, it’s a not a digital pen. Instead you create points and connect them with the line.

It sounds simple but it is one of the tools that many people have trouble mastering. This free web resource turns it into a game with progressively harder levels. The more you play, they better you’ll get with using the tool. Even if you don’t want to ever use any art software, this free game is a nice way to pass the time. The Bezier Game is free.
