Basics of Photoshop #03 - Drawing with the Pen Tool

[0Artist0]

God I am such an idiot. I've been trying to draw on my tablet like i do on paper but have been smashing my face against the keyboard after I could never get the perfect line curves and those damn pixels would keep breaking on me. Now I know what to do. SKetch with pen and tablet. Then use photoshops pen tool to create those vector lines. Finally I can get some decent looking comic stuff going.

hm. the way you used this tool is kinda cool, but honestly (and i'm trying not to be offensive.) it doesn't look that great at the end.

I prefer, when tracing over a photo, to do it like a painting, actually doing brushstrokes and completely drawing the entire thing by hand. in my opinion, it ends up looking much better. of course, my way doesn't really use photoshop to its fullest, but i think it looks better.

What does 'hold down option' mean? Thanks

[jamesaird]

@jbartlett321 On the mac there is a key thats called option.

@jbartlett321 If you're using a mac, there is a key called "option". On a Windows machine you would use the "alt" key instead.

That ended up better than I expected, specially when you started messing with the gradients at the end. Awesome job!
