This wikiHow teaches you how to create curves in Photoshop on a Windows or Mac computer. The most basic way is to use the default Pen Top option, but you can also use a simplified version of Pen Top to draw curved lines by clicking different points on the canvas.
Steps
Using Pen Top

Open your Photoshop project. If you haven’t already, double-click the file to open the project you want to work with.

Select the Pen tool. Select the fountain pen-shaped Pen icon in the left toolbar, then click Pen Top in the pop-up menu.

Reposition the mouse pointer. Place the mouse pointer where you want to start the stroke.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/95/Draw-Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-4-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Draw- Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-4-Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/95/Draw-Curved-Lines-in- Photoshop-Step-4-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Draw-Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-4-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Set the starting point and slope of the curve. Click and drag the mouse in the direction of the curve, then release the mouse at the top of the arc. [1] X Research Source
- The position where you release the mouse is the highest point of the arc.

Create the second point of the curve. Click and hold the mouse at the junction with the original point, then drag the mouse in the opposite direction from the direction you dragged when you created the curve.
- To create an “S” curve, you need to drag your mouse to the same side where you created the arc.

Add more curves. You can add a curve to the current stroke by clicking and holding the next point of the curve and dragging the mouse to set the curvature of the shape.

End of curve. Once you’ve drawn a curve you like, you can stop the Pen tool from creating more curves by hovering over the starting point and clicking it after you see a small circle appear next to the mouse pointer.
Using Curvature Pen Top

Select the Curvature Pen tool. Select the fountain pen-shaped Pen icon in the left toolbar, then click Curvature Pen Top in the pop-up menu.
- The Curvature Pen tool allows us to draw curved lines simply by clicking on different points in succession.

Select the first point. Click the curve start point.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/94/Draw-Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-11-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Draw- Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-11-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/94/Draw-Curved-Lines-in- Photoshop-Step-11-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Draw-Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-11-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click the second point. A line segment will connect from the original point to the point you just selected.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/23/Draw-Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-12-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Draw- Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-12-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/23/Draw-Curved-Lines-in- Photoshop-Step-12-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Draw-Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-12-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click on the third point. This will create a connection for the line, so that the second point will become the top of the curve. [2] X Research Source

Add points. You can continue adding points by clicking where you want the curve to go. The stroke will automatically curve along the points.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5f/Draw-Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-14-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Draw- Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-14-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5f/Draw-Curved-Lines-in- Photoshop-Step-14-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Draw-Curved-Lines-in-Photoshop-Step-14-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Reset the position of the curve. If you want to bend part of the curve inward or outward, click and drag the mouse at that point inward or outward to do so.
Advice
- You can also use the Freeform Pen option to draw curves as you would on paper. Curves made with the Freeform Pen tool will be less detailed than strokes from the Pen top.
Warning
- There will be times when you need to return to a certain point because the curve is not what you want. To do this, you can press Ctrl + Z (Windows) or ⌘ Command + Z (Mac).
