paths in PS cs
« on: May 20, 2011, 12:17:04 PM »
Ok if I wanted to redraw something in PS how do I or what tool do I use to do so. In Corel I use the Bezier tool to re-create something so I guess my question is what is the tool in PS? Thks

You can use the pen tool in PS to draw a path . You can then stroke that path or fill it by going to your paths pallet and select it. The best way to get a good look at it is go to YouTube and search PS pen tool.

Why are you trying to draw in PS? Why not do all your line drawing in Corel Draw or Illy then convert to a jpg or bitmap open in either PS or
open Photo Paint from Draw and put in your colors and shading.

If you have a tablet it is a lot easier to draw in PS or Corel but if your drawing with a mouse it way easier in Corel or Illy
I learned from Jeri Clow she was one of the best car illustrates in the business and then developed eye problems.
She has a great free tut and a 4 disk teaching cd. She does all her line work in Illy the color work in PS.

Seems she doesn't have her tuts up on her site any more.

Get in contact with Lemorris, hes was one of her star pupils and does great work in PS
