Chose a complicated Raptors logo for one of my Illustrator Assignments. Using the pen tool I traced parts of the logo in layers starting with the back and then hiding those layers to work on the others. Using the handles with the anchor points I was able to get an accurate curve. When using the pen tool, to continue on with the with the tracing without getting that extra curve when using the handles, I just clicked the last used anchor point and I would have a straight line again. After that I had taken away the strokes at the appropriate places and filled in the logo with the original colors. My last step was to rearrange the layers in the proper order.
