Practice Practice Practice
This page contains all the practice templates for drawing with the
pen. Here are tutorials for Deneba Canvas™, Adobe® Illustrator®,
Adobe Photoshop®, Macromedia® FreeHand® and CorelDRAW®. These tutorials
are setup for both Macintosh® and Windows® platforms.
You might ask, "What are Photoshop tutorials doing here in the vector
application section?" Using the pen in Adobe Photoshop is virtually
the same as using the pen in Adobe Illustrator. Learning pen skills
really belongs here with the other vector applications. I have linked
the Photoshop section of the web site to these pages for learning
the pen.
These tutorials are short and fun. Make sure to download the setup
sheet for the application you are using. The setup is very straightforward.
Except for Photoshop (which rasterizes the PDF file...turns it into
a bitmap), you simply load the tutorial PDF file into the drawing
application, then lock the layer containing the template, then add
a new layer and draw on that new layer. The reason you keep the template
on a locked layer is because the template contains vector objects
which can get selected and altered otherwise. Don't worry, it's really
simple. All the instructions are in the setup sheets.
The tutorials are setup in sequence starting with the easiest ones.
Each one gives you a different skill. By the time you get to the last
one you will see how it all comes together. They have been purposely
setup to take advantage of keyboard shortcuts so you don't have to
return to the tool palette once the pen tool has been selected.
The whole point is to train you to take advantage of the keyboard
shortcuts so you will draw faster, smoother and more fluidly.
