Vector Help

[Monkey Man]

Hey, i'm trying to learn to vector but i don't really know what i'm doing, i have a shape, shown below and the anchor points with handles.

The thing is when the vector lines arent shown, where the anchor points are, there are sharp edges :cry: when i don't really want there to be:

Can someone help explain to me how to smooth out the curves, so those little pointy bits aren't there? Thanks!

PS: Using Illustrator

Are you really vectoring or or this photoshop?

It looks like you're using photoshop. What you want to do is select the corner you want using the direct select tool, then take the convert point tool (under the pen) and click and drag it, and you'll see it become a curve.

I should have specified - click and drag on the point itself, while it it selected.
