Thanks, Reka, I will study that tutorial. Me and this blasted pen tool are soon going to have a parting of the ways.

I hope not to confuse the matter any more... but here is a link that confirms the interest of Bert Monroy's videos and a link to a PDF:

Suzi, much better! If you get your grid on, it makes it easier to make precise curves. Have you tried that?

Not yet< Reka. I am folowing shapes right now. I did figure out what I was doing wrong. I was dragging at the wrong time. Next week how about a nice easy one, like doing a painting

Suzi!!!!

That is such a great improvement! It looks 200% better! You got a few jaggies in there, but wow! You might have a couple of anchor points too many or need a few extra handles; that' can cause the jaggies.

:cheer2: :chickendance: :cheer2: :chickendance: :cheer2:

So what do you contribute the improvement to: one of the many links, or just plain sweat-drenching practice??

Thank you, Reka. That is 3 days of practicing. But I would have to say that link I posted for the video really helped me out alot. I am determined to not let that pen tool get the best of me!!!
