You know, with the short weekend last week, and everyone getting ready for the July 4 festivities, it totally slipped my mind to talk to you guys about the most recent episode of Layers TV! This episode was near and dear to me because it talked about one of the most often misunderstood tools in the Adobe Creative Suite – the Pen tool. The Pen tool is a very polarizing tool – you either really love it, or really really really hate it. More often than not if you hate it, it’s usually because you started clicking and draggin willy nilly (I just love that saying) and didnt really ‘get’ what all of the lines that were coming up were. The Pen tool is one of those tools that you cant really just play with – to learn it and master it you really need to sit down and learn it within a specific context. On this week’s Layers TV I go through an example of how -i- use the pen tool, and if you can grasp the concept, you’d be surprised as to how much easier the Pen can be. Mastering the Pen can not only help you in Photoshop, but will take your Illustrator work to the next level – It’s in almost every Adobe app. You owe it to yourself to check it out! Click on the player to the right to get to the episode. This is one that I -definitely- recommend watching the bigger version though.
