pen tool enlightenment

Hey TF,

I have struggled with the notorious pen tool for sometime now. I am here to say that I have something useful that helped me and will probably help any other frustrated computer user.

http://www.vtc.com/illustrator10.htm

Scroll down to: "Pen Tool Techniques".
There are 6 videos available for viewing pleasure at no cost. I have just finished watch "Pen Tool / Anchor Points", "Creating Basic Shapes", and I am pressing now on into the third video.

These are excellent.

Once you get the pen tool you'll begin to like it. Or at least I am.
I hope this is helpful. I also noticed VTC had many other selections available for all major applications.

Even though, this series was produced for Illustrator. The pen tool operates similarly with other applications.
