If you click on one of the dropdown boxes you will be presented with a list of symbols and ornaments that can be placed on either point of the path. The endpoint of the path: represented by the right side of your line, or the second (last) point that you created.The start point of the path: represented by the left side of your line, or the first point that you created.With the Stroke menu open and the line you’ve drawn still still selected, direct your attention towards the bottom of the menu where it says “ Arrowheads“, represented by two dropdown boxes: The two boxes outlined in red above allow you to add arrowheads to your path.

Step 3: Apply an arrowhead to the start and/or endpoint of your path to make it into an arrow

The stroke menu allows you to change all of the properties of a stroke object - including adding ornaments on the ends that can make for arrowheads. The menu will look like this: How the Stroke menu looks when opened. Now we will turn the stroke object that we’ve created into an arrow, but in order to do that we must first access the Stroke menu. Do not worry if this is not the path you’d like your arrow to follow though. The direction of the arrow will follow the direction of this path. The line will then be converted into an arrow. The result will be a horizontal line: Draw a line on the canvas using the Pen Tool. Press the Enter key once completed to close the path. Then, hold Shift on your board and move your cursor to the right of your canvas and click again to create the end point of the path. Grab the Pen Tool (keyboard shortcut: P) and click on your canvas to create a point. This will create a line, or a “stroke” object that can be edited further to generate an arrow. In order to make arrows in Illustrator we must first draw the path that we’d like the arrow to follow. Step 1: Grab the Pen Tool and draw the path that you’d like your arrow to follow Changing the arrow’s properties - such as size, color, and position - will be covered in the latter part of the tutorial. In this first part of the lesson we will be going over how to create arrows in Illustrator. Step 3: Apply an arrowhead to the start and/or endpoint of your path to make it into an arrow Working with Arrows.Step 1: Grab the Pen Tool and draw the path that you’d like your arrow to follow.
