Here is a pretty comprehensive guide to one of Adobe Photoshop's most difficult tool, the Pen Tool. This will show you how to draw and stroke paths as well as a guide to draw line art.

There are a lot of words in this tutorial and there are points where the text seems wordy, but they all serve to explain the Pen Tool in the most comprehensive way possible.


Unfortunately, the tutorial does not show what a line art look like when the lines and curves are stroked with pressure simulated.

I can assure you that there are no spelling mistakes (as this was spell-checked).

A lot of sweat and blood (not to mention countless hours) was poured into making this tutorial, so comments are highly appreciated.







EDIT #2: Thanks to the efforts of Beaconofdarkness ([link]), he has taken the liberty to convert the original JPEG file into a PDF file. Not only the overall file size is significantly smaller, it is also printable. Again, thank Beaconofdarkness for the PDF.
