So, we'll get a good amount of practice here. On not only drawing curves but drawing different types of curves within those sort of parameters that we have when we're drawing our work for font editing software. Okay, so I have the chunky mobile file open from the 03_07 directory. I'm just going to jump right into this. I want to make sure in my layers panel that I'm on the glyph four layer, and we're going to be currently working on the lot lock. So I've opened up the lock sublayer and I've selected lot.
