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.
