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. :]

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.

hey , how do you make the line like that ?
i mean like small at the edges and wide at the middle
also
when i stroke the path it's grey the first time then when i stroke the path again it's darker how do i get black from the first time ?
plz help

Popo-Licious In reply to sketchtonia [2011-11-30 17:32:35 +0000 UTC]

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.
