Select the Zoom tool in the Tools panel on the left and drag across this path to zoom in. Now let's look at a curved path like you see here.

Then come out to the artwork and click right on this line to select it.

Start by selecting the Selection tool in the Tools panel on the left. You can open this practice file if you want to follow along.

Adobe Illustrator is used for vector drawing.
