Pen Tool

[omier]

So i have done lots of stuff, but i've never used Pen Tool. I know loads of great things can be done with it.
So i wanna learn how to master Pen Tool, but i don't know where to start. So it would be great if anyone could point me in the right direction, and show what magic it can do.

As far as I know, the magic is as magical as you want it to be. It's mostly a "popular" tool because you can make any shape you want.

Them glowlines lol.

A lot of people use it for making those lines + arrows. I rarely use it since I like making a collage out of different things. But it is a pretty useful tool when you apply some imagination into it. Fat lines, rounded edges or straight, feathered/soft or solid/precise, clip masked with something or glowing, etc, etc...

Can u show me some examples, amazing pieces where Pen Tool has been used?

The pen tool is a mini-Illustrator inside Photoshop. You can create vectors and selections and monkeys and and and that's pretty much it.

Errr pretty much almost every straight/curved line you see in PS are made using Pen tool. It can also be used to crop/cut-out images so that kind of includes almost everything (a lot better than the stupid Lasso tool). There are other ways to isolate images if you need really fine details, such as the hair or any ragged areas in the image that you need to cut out but for the purpose of making sigs, Pen tool would be sufficient for most.
