2.  Select the Ellipse Tool.


3.  Set the foreground to transparent and the background to the desired color of your teardrop.


4.  Draw out an perpendicular oval.  Show Nodes should be checked.

6.  Right-click on the oval and select Convert to Path.


7.  Right-click on the node at the top of the oval.  Go to Node Type and select Line Before.


8.  Right-click on the node at the top of the oval a second time.  Go to Node Type and select Line After.  The point of the teardrop has now been created.



9.  Left-click the node on the left side of the oval and drag it down toward the bottom of the image.
