sure, use the pen tool dropping points where you think is necessary (you’ll get better at this with time), then go to sub-mode to select individual nodes, hold alt and drag to make curves. Curves can be made while drawing, however if you close the shape you’ll get a big bubble when it closes. I prefer to work using the first method.

Oh and BTW I’m sure this is covered in the HELP FILE!!!
