Is there a specific tutorial on using the pen tool properly? I have been using photoshop for more than 2 years now, and I still have no clue!

Here's a place for you. It's a tutorial on using the pen tool.

Hope this helps,

You'll find lots of tutorials (from basic to advanced) here: http://www.pixel2life.com/tutorials/...&ss=pen%20tool

That pixel2life site really does have a lot of tutorioals. I even found some that I can understand, which I usually don't find much since I'm not very tech-savvy!

The pen tool is one of the toughest to learn, but once you DO learn it, and learn about all the variations available for manipulating the point handles, you'll never regret learning how to do it.

There are some excellent tuts on the pen tool here:

I've taken Janee's classes, well worth taking. She cured me of my fear of the pen tool
