1. Normally, I will skip the cropping image, but when we are extending the pen tool tutorial here, I will concentrate on a few useful tips. First, go to sxc. hu to download the image of the gun (thanks to the terrible picture of neoisam-there are many variables of high-quality images that can be used here, this is at the top ). Then enlarge the image by about 300% and select the pen tool. Make sure that it is set as the path, add the path area (+), and start painting on the arm and gun.
For example, the above pen tool tutorial is a good exercise. when you start to draw a curve, you cannot draw it from the center of the curve. Pull the anchor to make it angle along the straight line edge.


2. add the next anchor point at the intersection of the end of the curve and the edge of the straight line. We can see that the curve is too big, so select the tool directly (the white arrow is not black) and pull the handle back. After a while, you can determine how to pull the anchor to satisfy various curves.

3. Finally, we also need to put down the secondary edge so that it will not block the edge of our extension line. Select the pen tool, press Alt, and click the positioning point at the end of the curve. This will reduce the external handle processing and draw your line along the straight side. I think this is a good practice. drag the anchor to draw along a straight edge instead of using a single click. In this way, you can adapt to any direct edge wave without leaving the fixed point.

4. complete the image around the drawing. The following is an example of how to manipulate the anchor in multiple curves. This idea is to create a natural route to get as few points as possible, but if you don't want to, you can place points in the middle of the curve.

5. create a new file. I created a 300-pixel A5 landscape for this basic tutorial. Copy and paste the file to the gun. Select the pen tool and set it as the shape layer to replace the path. Select a color. at this stage, I have prepared 100% magenta, but this can be edited at any stage. Next we will start to draw the oil from the gun.

6. you need some imagination. The image vector is a thick, colored viscous substance, and then put it in the real world as if it were subject to physical laws. In this way, continue to draw the leaked oil from the gun.

7. use a direct selection tool to clear points that you are not satisfied.

8. now it is time to use some deep vector viscous substances. Select "leak" layer, go to layer> layer style> blending options, and set three screens. Adjust the color to suit your needs.
