How to Use a French Curve: Traditionally, the French curve is used after you have plotted a series of reference points on a piece of paper. Designers typically match two or more plot points with the edge of the French curve and connect the dots. You can also draw a design freehand and use the French curve to finesse and correct the curvature of a line.

"CAD is good, but there is nothing like drawing by hand. I’m glad I started using French curves again. I especially like the inking edge. These work well with my pens and pencils, and the clear plastic does not obscure the tip of the nib or lead while I'm working." - Rita F
