One of the many ways of cutting an object from the background is the often-feared pen tool. This tutorial is supposed to show you how to use it and what you can actually do with it.

I hope you'll find this useful. Feedback is more than welcome, as always :heart:

Show me if you use this in a deviation, too, I am always curious!

How would I know? I use Photoshop. Sorry. You'll have to figure it out yourself.

Hi, I really learned a lot from this tut. I used to swear by layer masks + calligraphy/basic brushes for cutting things out. I'm still learning the pen tool, but I think it'll be a lot faster once I master it! :D It's tricky getting the path exact sometimes still. :P Thank you so much!

:heart: very glad to hear that you were able to add something to your skill set - knowing the pen tool is certainly valiable, but in some cases the brush method you mentioned will still be able to save your day ;)

Thank you so much! I just cut out a lightbulb - I know, no biggie. But it's the first curved shape I've managed with the pen tool thanks to your explanation. And saved the path! Woot!
