The Tutorial is Below.......This is my first video/online tutorial. I will add audio sometime. Tried to add some humor...I'm not a pervert. WATCH THE VIDEO. It helps to see the workflow and the artist.

----_____------Tutorial

1. Straight line. Made simply by pointing and clicking.
2. Closed Point. Made by making a straight line and pressing delete once.
3. Curved Line. Made by making a point then making a anchor point.
4. Anchor. This is used to shape the line to your liking.

Hints:
-Usually the anchor(4) is facing a close direction to the next anchor point you want to make. This is very important when dealing with vectors, the anchor close to your direction will make a more accurate line.
-Dont go crazy. Becoming a master of the pentool doesnt happen overnight. Use CTRL + Z when needed. And CTRL + ALT + Z when needed(multiple undos).
-Make sure to close the shape. If not the final result will come out looking horrible.
-Make shortcuts for yourself. Photoshop has layers, you can go into other areas and cover it up with the next shape you make. Watch the video to see what I mean.
-Zoom. Zoom. And Zoom. If you cant get that line just right undo it and zoom it to get exact.
-Practice. Practice. And Practice. Like I said, you cant learn the tool overnight. Take your time, try simpler stock photos or shapes. Dont just dive in at first.
