Using the Pen Tool

[AMD_5]

Does anybody have a good tutorial on how to use the Pen tool in Photoshop/Illustrator. I've looked at some online but they arent that great.

practice a lot, that's really the only way to get good at it.

practice outining things, just zone out into the thing your working on and you quickly start developing a technique, everyone does it differently

try to use as few points as possible only place a new point when the direction changes and if you cant get it clean keep your hands on command z and just keep trying till you can make it as smooth as possible

i would agree with practice a lot and don't use a lot of points.
that and just try keeping the curves along the edge of what your tracing and you'll be fine. just start on some simple objects and then move on to harder ones when you have the basics down.

this prettymuch sums it all up, but google it for more info.
