Drawing Beziér Curves on the Canvas

Straight lines are cool and all, but sometimes you need to create lines that are not straight. Sometimes you need to create curved lines:

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create not just any old curved line. You will learn how to draw something known as a Beziér Curve. Ignoring all of the boring academic stuff behind it, the elevator pitch for what they are is as follows: Beziér curves allow you to easily create curves that are smooth. That’s the only important detail for you to keep in mind…for now.

Onwards!

Did you know?

Even if you don’t know what Beziér curves are or have only heard about them in passing, there is a very good chance you’ve actually used them. If you’ve ever drawn a path in a vector illustration tool like Flash or Illustrator, you were indirectly manipulating a Beziér curve under the covers. Isn’t that cool?
