Master the Pen Tool in 30 Minutes | Photoshop In-Depth Tutorial

[@marcbobson]

I love how he repeats key explanations, but in slightly different ways, and throughout the video. he understands that these topics are complex for newbies, and he gets the value of repetition. Very excellent teacher.

[@scvpest]

Yeah fr. I only needed a refresher on the Pen Tool but I stayed for the whole thing because of how well he teaches. it blew my mind how consistent he was. reinforcing the use of shortcuts, explaining trivial things just in case a complete beginner was watching. I will ALWAYS recommend this channel for photoshop

[@MwSama]

[@the_gaming_otaku5910]

I tried using this tool myself and the handles bamboozled me hard, forcing me to rely on different methods of selection, this video has truely enligtned me, even just the convert point tool allowing to break handles remove or add them has elevated my level of skill with this software to a new degree, even though the shortcuts are different on correldraw(the software i use at work) it gave me the sense of understanding i need to implement it there, thanks a bunch brother.

I've used Photoshop since around 1998 and being 52 I've become somewhat stagnant in my willingness to *Learn!* You my friend are a Talented Teacher as well as Photoshop Expert. I have also been watching your videos for a while and actually *_Learning_* a few very useful things that I could never get my narrow(ed) mind around! Thank You Sir! I simply couldn't fully grasp the Pen Tool from the beginning but I've bumbled through modifying Selections instead. I almost grasped it once when working as a Signmaker but this moment right now is monumental! I am just now subscribing and thumbing this vijeo up because you've been elevated into the rarefied air where the Gods Of Design reside!

[@davidsalisbury9465]

The pen tool has baffled me for so many years! I've been following Unmesh for about a year and decided to see if there were any videos on the channel specifically about the pen tool. This is a fantastic video - as usual you take the mystery away and teach in bite size chunks - I can't thank you enough.

[@lisasnowmacdonald6998]

[@leokastle8041]

Thank you for the simple explanation and easy to follow instructions. I'm a long time, though not frequent, user of photoshop and I need the occasional reminder of the basics. I think the last time I used photoshop was about 2 years ago, so, there've been a couple of versions since then and no lack of changes and improvements. My current challenge has been to convert a raster image to vector and then cleaning up the resulting vectors to join points and manage the handles accordingly. Your tutorial was spot on and then some! Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge....

This is very good! The only thing missing is, if you want to make two curves with a sharp point like the moon, you can alt click right on the node before the next curved line and you won’t have to deal with that handle at the sharp point. That may have made no sense because I’m not the best teacher ;)
