Description

This was a cool idea I had about a way to make the pen tool a little more fun to learn. Have more ideas coming up but they're production intensive... This will serve as a good intermediate tool to use to help drive home the pen tool's use! Video can be found here: http://www.brainbuffet.com/tutorials/ai5-pentool/ai-pentool-CMYK%20WARS.mp4 Upload wasn't working here on the exchange for some reason (too big?)

This is part of the Pen Tool Intro on Brainbuffet.com- but a cool addition- thought you guys could use it!

You're right, Kris, Rob is a creative genius.

But you're also wrong. The pen tool is a pussy cat. You just have to take a little time to learn how to make it purr. :)

Rob: Am stealing this to use as a backward reward for mastering the Pen Tool. (Hey, have to try crazy ideas too!)

This is a fun one... Definitely changed the kids' attitudes toward the pen!
