During the past few days, I've been trying to teach myself how to use the Adobe Illustrator pen tool. I had been warned that this is an instrument of torture, but, in the end, is well worth learning, since it puts you miles ahead of your competition.

I'd like to hear any stories from people who have "mastered" the pen. (Maybe a few laughs, too.) Smiling

I still hate the pen tool! But you're right, very useful. I wish there was an option to make the drag handles bigger. I can never seem to catch onto them. Can't say that I've mastered the pen Smiling

Well, I'm going to spend 15 minutes a day, training on the pen tool. Maybe after a few weeks, I'll feel more comfortable about the whole thing. Roll eyes
