Photoshop Elements 2019 - Where is the Curvature Pen Tool?

I'm using Photoshop Elements 2019. All I want to do is to draw a smooth curved line that connects several straight lines like the picture showed below. I heard that there is a so-called "curvature pen tool" somewhere in Photoshop but I couldn't find it. When I click and hold the "Pen" icon all I can see is the pen tool. Any help is appreciated.

If you have a relatively steady hand, you could try the Brush Tool to draw the curves.

I've discovered something, using pse 2025- no reason why it isn't the same for your version. This works with straight lines. It's not curved but it connects your lines.

Select your pencil tool- set the width.
HOLD DOWN YOUR LEFT SHIFT.

DRAW YOUR FIRST LINE- HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL. KEEP HOLDING DOWN YOUR LEFT SHIFT.

MOVE YOUR MOUSE TO WHERE YOU WANT THE NEXT LINE SEGMENT TO END- CLICK ONCE.

KEEP HOLDING YOUR LEFT SHIFT DOWN.

MOVE YOU MOUSE CURSOR TO WHERE YOU WANT THE NEXT SEGMENT TO END, CLICK ONCE WITH YOUR LEFT MOUSE BUTTON.
