I was totally "amg" with the pen tool - but this made it so simple! I got it in just 5 minutes when before I was just staring at other tuts completely lost.

Thank you!

This technique explained a lot to me about the techniques how to use the pen tool, like more techniques than what I already know and it seems simplier to me now. Thanks a lot for this great tutorial ! ^^

you can draw without a tablet - very smooth lines and if you dont want to do vector art or drawing in photoshop then you can use it to clean up pictures with it's help

to make it a line, all you have to do is make the line with the pen tool, right click like in a part of the tutorial, and click stroke path. Then select the setting of the path. You can select a brush pattern etc.

you are an absolute genius with this tutorial, i myself have been using the pen tool for nearly a year and i just never understood how they used it to well, i would be drawing the outline and then the next point i did would make an absolutely weird curve and i couldn't understand how to stop this, now you've shown me and my first use of the pen tool was nearly perfect!!! thank you very much for this tutorial, this should be number1 on the pen tutorials thx, saved my photoshop stress
