Tutorial goal:
This tutorial teaches you how to transform a drawing you've made with the pen tool.
Credits earned for writing this tutorial: 
800 ($8)
step 1
1. First, choose any drawing, that you want to transform.
(This is a drawing, that my friend, Jessica, did. It's me and my boyfriend on the Game).
I already did this (explaining the layers), I just teach you how I did.
step 2
2.With the "Pen Tool" and the option "Shape Layers", you can start.
Press the "Alt" on the point [marked with a square], if you did a curve and you don't want to follow it.
step 3
3.If you don't want to work with many layers (that must be confuse), work with the shapes - witch has the same color - in the same layer, just mark the option "Add to Shape Area (+)".
You have others options, to create a new shape, to subtract, to intersect and exclude overllaping shapes. As you have with the others tools on Photoshop.
Sometimes, is useful to reduce the opacity, to see what you have under the shape.
step 4
4.To change the color of a shape, just click two times on the layer [1] and choose the color you want.
step 5
5.If the shape it's not in the form that you like it, just select the "Direct Selection Tool" and adjust it like you want, selecting the point.

Very cool, love it! I'm still trying to get used to the pen tool. (1 year and 2 days ago)
Why is it that some tutorials get loads of comments and others only a few? Great job, my dear! (356 days ago)
