This tutorial will teach you how to create a speech bubble which is resizable without getting jagged edges.
In this step we will create a path with the shape of a speech bubble, we will use the Ellipse tool and the Pen tool.
Start out by selecting the Ellipse tool in the tools menu. Now the options bar for the Ellipse tool should be visible above your work area.The important settings here is to select paths mode, you can see my settings below.
Now you should draw an Ellipse that looks something like the one I have drawn bellow.
Adjust the size of the Ellipse to match the content you want to have inside the speech bubble.
