So let's see how the handles work the logic behind them, because they may look like they are mysterious, but it's pretty easy to understand. So let's Trace here, our first node. And let's pull up. You see I'm pulling First up, but even though I have 200. Now I'm going to trace my next node, say somewhere up here. And what pulling up first means is that this handle is the leaving one is the one that is going to lead my next curve.

And it doesn't matter if I go upwards or downwards. That path is always going to come first up, and then Wherever I am, it's going to look for me but always going upwards. So if I first Come here, my cough is gonna do something like So, if I repeat, I go upwards. But now I go somewhere here. This means my curve is going to do something like. So.

I repeat this is the leading handle because I can first up so it will go something like this. Now, if I go downwards, we get the same principle. I may come up here, but my segment is going to come first downwards, and then it's going to look for what I want to land. And I may just come down and still this is gonna come first here and then looking for what I learned the same principle if I move horizontally, I can first to the left. So it doesn't matter that I now Come here, my curve is going to be doing something like this. Bang.

Now, if I come to the right, it's gonna be exactly the same. It doesn't matter what I go, it's always gonna come to the right first and then looking for me. The opening of the course will depend on what I learned. Because if I land somewhere here more separated from the original node, the curve will be more open, say like this boat. If I land somewhere like here, the curve is gonna be more closed. And even if I position my landing node in the same line, you will see a line but actually, this line goes first to the right, and then to the left.

You can see This looks like a line, but actually, it's a curve. Okay, so that's basically what I would like you to understand about how to use the handle and direct them in order to get a result. That will always be depending on where you have your leading handle. I would like you to do this exercise trying to guess what's going to happen next. So for example, if I just go like this, and now I love here, would you be able to guess what will be the outcome? I'm not saying you have to know exactly but more or less well, now we know that it will come somewhere like here like this and then it will come looking for me.

So you are it. The longer my handle is, the longer this line before it comes down will be basically That is it for this lesson, please practice this exercise that will help you to understand much better, where you should position your hands once you're drawing with a pencil. However, in the next lesson we will see some other ways to use the pencil in order not to be so dependent are so slave to the handles and it will make it much easier.
