Next, he zoomed in and used lines to cap the ends of the "M" and created a path for the line tool. He then used the Shape Builder tool to trim off unwanted parts of the "M." Finally, he colorized the "M" using the Shape Builder tool.
01:10:00 This video demonstrates how to use the curvature tool in Adobe Illustrator to create custom icons. The user starts by drawing a circle with straight lines, and then zooms in to trace over the top of the icon with curved lines.

They explain that the middle of the icon is where the curves meet, and then shows how to use the curvature tool to create the outside curves. Finally, the user turns off the fill and stroke and shows how to draw the inside curves of the icon.
01:15:00 The " curvature tool " in Adobe Illustrator allows for the smooth and precise curve creation and adjustment of lines and corners.
