Guide
Navigate to the bottom section of your Figma design canvas and click the 'Pen' icon.
Following that, go back to the canvas and click anywhere to plot the first vector point.
Drag your mouse cursor to your desired position and then click once again to plot another vector point.
Repeat the same series of steps until you form a shape or object.
Once done, head back to the starting point and click on the first vector point to close the path.
If you want to further customize the output, navigate to the floating options above the Pen tool icon. Use the 'Bend' tool to create a curve and the 'Paint Bucket' tool to fill the shape with your preferred color.
After completing these steps, you may now include the final output as part of your Figma design.
