Let’s work with layers before starting the path drawing. There are two options- 1. Go to ‘Window’ and find the ‘Layers’ or 2. Press ‘F7’. Here we lock the layer and create a new layer. Then work with the color option. Lock the fill color first. We need to choose a stroke color then.

Selection Tool: This tool is most often needed. Press ‘V’ for shortcut selection. Another alike tool is the ‘Direct Selection Tool’. 

Width Tool: Sometimes we need to increase the one corner of a shape instead of other corners. Here Stoke’s uniform can’t help, so you need the ‘Width Tool’. You can select manually or by pressing ‘Shift+W’.
