Step 1

bz-step1 Start the curve by clicking and dragging.

Step 2

bz-step2 End the drag and then click and drag in a new location.

Step 3

bz-step3 Repeat step 2 as many times as you want.

To end the drawing, click in the same place again or click on the starting point to close the path.

N.B. You may find it easier to use the connected line tool and the use the line bending tool to create curves.
