I've never really known how to use the pen tool correctly until now. Your directions and tips are extremely helpful and very clear. Thank you so much. :]

I've been using the pen tool for a while after reading a very simple tutorial, but your tutorial blew that one out the water. Very useful, thank you!

The brush is set to default. The minimum diameter is 0%. :3

I've only ever used it as a selection tool! I never realised that it was actually for drawing (I did wonder why it was called a pen tool...). Very useful to know how to use the curving stuff

Very nice! The great thing about this is that it's already evenly colored when you stroke it.

It sounds like you have opacity set to a value lower than 100%. Make sure flow and opacity are both at 100%, and set the minimum diameter to 0%. Use one of the default PS brushes. :3

Looks good, very useful to me since I've been avoiding that tool for a while now.
It might help to increase the contrast between the text and the background a little, I had a hard time reading it, it's so faint.
