Thanks for the help. Sorry if I was using the wrong terminology -- I meant to ask if I could create a pattern swatch.

For example, a swatch that was both green and red? Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hey all, I am a novice in Illustrator and I have mostly used the pen tool so far. I am in a graphics design class in high school, and when looking to purchase Adobe Illustrator, I have seen that the price is very expensive. Currently I'm using a 30-day trial of AI over the winter break and I am comparing it to a 10-day trial of Affinity Designer. I am seriously considering purchasing Affinity Designer for its low price. I am also considering a graphic art/designing career. On paper I'm fairly good at drawing but I am having difficulty on these programs. Currently I have a wacom tablet with a drawing space around 5" x 3.6" that my dad gave me. Probably not the best place to ask, but is there a way to get rid of one of the handles on an anchor point? In AI, I think I click the anchor point to remove it but on AD I haven't found out how. (Sorry if I'm not using correct terminology and this is confusing haha) Thanks for any help!
