Photoshop Pen Tool Tutorial
I’ve uploaded a Zip file containing two Photoshop exercise files and a PDF step-by-step guide to help Photoshop users overcome their fear (or hatred) of the Pen Tool.

Finally, the time-honored Photoshop ducky is used to give you a taste of using the Pen Tool on more organic shapes.
