Artist's Comments

This is a tutorial I made because of numerous comments on the "learning curve" of the pen tool.
There probably is a couple spelling errors, but other than that, I hope you learn something from this.

Comments welcome.

the pen tool is THE most powerful tool in photoshop. However, you do not go into full detail on how to use it. You briefly describe how to make two points and a curve, but then you go on to show examples of where it can be used.

Maybe a "vectoring with the pen tool" tutorial, or an "abstract lines with the pen tool" tutorial would be more appropriate. Good luck and welcome to the site!

Yeah, in part one, I talked about making anchor points, making the path curve, and alt+clicking so your next anchor point isn't all jacked up.

What I mean to say is... someone new to photoshop will not quite understand this. Its best to teach through showing, thats why an "abstract lines with the pen tool" would be better to show exactly how its used.

for example, starting with paths and creating a new path rather then just selecting the pen tool while layers are active and creating a solid shape in the color of the foreground. Dealing with complex curves tends to be easier using paths or low opacity layers. That wasn't covered in this.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I didn't cover EVERYTHING about it I guess, but I think I got a good amount.

In all honesty, while this tutorial is great, the only real advice the pen tool needs is to practice. And then practice. And when you're done practicing, practice more.
