I agree with all of you. The Pen tool or Bezier tool is the first and foremost tool to
learn and master for anyone starting out drawing digitally. Without it...well let's say there would not be many of us willing to do digital illustration.
ZVT, good tutorial. That is the
first basic thing I learned back in '94.
It still takes a level of skill & talent to do the work...just another tool for the designer/artist, Just less mess to clean up afterwards!!
