I finally finished this!!! -whew- xD

This is my tutorial on how to use the pen tool for Photoshop CS ^^

I'm dedicating this tutorial to , who has wanted to learn how to use this somewhat hard to explain tool for a while xD Tinga has too, but hasn't been able to find a tutorial that helps enough.

I really hope I explained this enough for you guys

If anyone has any questions please ask me! xD I do a lot of my pictures with the pen tool, to save them from a shaky lineart, but I've got to start to learn how to line correctly on my own too ^^

Also, I hope you didn't mind, but I used your pic of Rocky you drew for me at the end It was too cute to leave out xD


ENJOY!~

Haha I saw my (actually, your) chibi Rockfire and thought it was really cute.
I don't mind him being there.


I love the tutorial, and I'd use it, but I don't have Photoshop CS.
... and I kinda have a better way. xD FREEHAND! xD lawl

Lawl, I'm glad you didn't mind ^^

That is a better way, but I'm with a shaky hand and lazy xDD

Yelfi In reply to Chico-2013 [2009-07-04 23:43:40 +0000 UTC]

haha, I'd think that way would be harder, not lazier.
But okay. 'cause you gotta match the lines and it gets a bit hard when the lines are tiny, right? (as in a tight curve)

Chico-2013 In reply to Yelfi [2009-07-04 23:59:44 +0000 UTC]

Rly? xD

It does get harder, and it all depends on the size you make your lines as to begin with XD
