In part 1 of this tutorial series on Bezier curves, we learned the basics of using the Bezier tool, also known as the Pen Tool, in Inkscape to create new stroke paths. In part 2 on Bezier curves, we learned how to add several nodes to an existing stroke path, creating a multi-curved arc on one stroke path. We also learned how to use the Arc Adjustment tool, to set the arc or curve of different areas of our stroke path.

Here in part 3, we are going to practice moving and editing individual nodes on our multi-curved stroke path. Open up your practice file in Inkscape. Click on the Edit Nodes tool from the left side toolbar:

Press the Shift key and then Click on your stroke path to show where the current nodes are and the angle of the arc for each curved segment:

Now you can click and drag each node segment to adjust, you will notice the segment node you are editing when it turns red:

Make adjustments to the node, the squares, and the arc, the circles, as needed. Click the Select tool, the Arrow icon, to view your progress:

To create new Bezier curves, or stroke paths, refer to part one of this tutorial series. Happy vectoring!
