Now, I'm trying to draw this using the Pen tool drawing straight lines. However, when I have multiple lines originating in the point, I see the following behaviour:

You'll see the lines are not beautifull. How can I avoid this, and it the pen tool the correct item to draw this kind of images?

Please forgive a newcomer on Illustrator :-)

Look in the stroke panel.

There are some optios Cap and Corners.

In my opinion, the round one is the best option for your work.

Enabele the snap (ctrl + U) to control the position of anchors.

See the image below:

You simply need to check the round-joint option in the stroke panel with the desired path selected.
