Use of pen tool in fireworks

Description: What can the pen tool do? I think a lot of people can not grasp this concept, for some PS of the old users, they know what the pen can bring to us! It's a lot of surprises! But this thing is too difficult to grasp. I think. This has made most people feel the same way about me.
Similarly, in PS we use pen composition, also in FW, it can draw a perfect curve, you know, all the composition is inseparable from lines, especially the curve. But we do not have the foundation to do? Let's Learn together!

Operation Steps:
1, now we understand that the main role of the pen is composition, but for a little painting based on the people, composition, is simply a girlfriend than to have a difficult thing, how can we master it? Let me tell you, tracing, this is the beginning. First, import a picture.

2, now select the Pen tool to start tracing the outline of this lovely child. To facilitate our tracing, we first reduce the transparency of the picture below 40%. One thing to keep in mind during the drawing process is not to bend the curve drastically, which will make our next drawing impossible.

3, the description of the eye part, in the depiction of meticulous parts we usually encounter this situation: because of the large bending angle, can not complete the entire contour of the description, but when we draw a pen, but also because the top and bottom line of a drawing point distance too close to make two lines automatically combined. The solution is to enlarge the scene to 400% and then trace it, thus avoiding automatic bonding between lines.

4. Sketch the nose and mouth part. These two parts use more corners, but because the amplitude is not very large, so each part of us can be completely coherent. Need to pay attention to is the mouth of the upper and lower lip of the split part, this line is to use a straight line tool to complete.

5. Draw the ear part, this part is also easier to complete.

6, finally, the description of the hair, this part due to the requirements of more meticulous, so no more than deliberately portrayed, outline a form on it. After all the tracing is done, press CTRL + A to select the elements in the scene, and then press Ctrl+shift+alt+z to convert them to bitmaps. Fill in some colours as you wish. Some of the more careful part of the fill color can not be completed, then this part we can enlarge the scene, using the brush tool to complete the defective parts of the fill. The final effect I have achieved is shown in the diagram.

How are you doing?? Do you know what the pen tool does? This is just a simple example, what I need to tell you is: Long persistence, eventually you can get out of the way of imitation and draw your own graphics. Of course, do not spend all your time on drawing characters, you can trace all objects, it only takes patience.
