We Think the Pen Tool Might be Broken…

April 2, 2024

The pen tool might be broken because we can't stop using it!😅

For many designers, the pen tool can be intimidating at first, but it's smooth sailing when you get a hang of it. It's like pizza; you take the first bite and keep wanting more. You simply can't get enough of using it. Trust us, this statement is tried and true. 

We understand that the pen tool might be most handy for illustrators in the industry. However, as creatives, we are always encouraged to pick up something new and learn. 

As professionals, we have an unspoken rule that we can't possibly learn the functions of all the tools in our software. However, curiosity might kill the cat once or twice, but with nine lives, it will rise again and keep going, lol.

We say all this to say that learning a tool as intimidating as the pen tool unlocks new levels of efficiency and design prowess you might not think you need until you try. And per usual, we wouldn't leave you alone with words of motivation; we have a little gift for you. Say hello to your new bestie, a free pen tool practice sheet that will enable you to learn how to use the pen tool and rock at it!

Check out the free resource curated by Made by Mighty here alongside a youtube tutorial to walk you through it. We would love to know how well this works out for you.

It's Friday! We're running off to enjoy the weekend and, of course, discover more gems!💎

You can find all of Shalom Folashakin's amazing designs on Behance here.
