Any Graphic artist, beginner or professional
will use the Pen tool at least one in each of there projects.
Many people have much trouble with it at first
&& get easily frustrated and after some practices, it becomes
a second nature.
Discuss;;
The Pen tool && your experiences.

I hate that stupid thing!
I can never make a straight line its always funky.
So I cheat. I use the line tool and make lots of little strokes.

I'm starting to try to use it in my sigs.. my problem is I don't really have a steady hand or eye for art really (that's why I do more manipulation sweatdrop ) I think it could be really powerful but it's DEFINATELY taking a while to get used to it.. ;_; I'm trying not to give up just yet.

do you use it to outline? does it work better than the lasso tool?

I've never used it. My mouse is screwy and doesn't allow me to make the shapes I need. And if I do make them, then photoshop automatically converts the shape into what THEY think I want it to look like. Nope, I'm not a fan of it.
