[3ncryptabl3_lick]

When you click to make a point, drag the mouse a little, it will drag out two handles opposite eachother. Then just continue on making your outline, each time you click to add a point, drag a little. If you dont drag, it will make a basic point.

When you're ready to start tweaking, you can grab the handle and move it about to lengthen or shorten the bezier. By holding the ALT key when moving a handle, it will break the two handles and you can then move them independently. Once broken, you dont need to hold down the ALT key, however, if you want broken handles to move together, hold down the ALT key again and they will.

That should get you on the right track.

EDIT****

Oh and if you hold CTRL-ALT on an existing basic point then drag, it will creat handles too. Also, if you hold CTRL-ALT on a bezier point, it will delete the handles.
