How do I create a lightning bolt in illustrator?

Answer by  angille (55)

Using the pen tool (P), repeatedly click without dragging the classic lightning-bolt shape as if you're connecting the dots (nodes), finally clicking on your first node (the cursor will get a little circle next to it). You can then use the direct selection tool (A) to manipulate the individual nodes to taste.

There are many ways to create a lightning bolt in Illustrator. You can use the pen tool and draw out the vectors yourself. An easier way is to insert a pre-made object. You can download pre-made objects and insert them in Illustrator. You can re-size the object if needed as well.
