I was trying to figure out how to make those splashes look right! And the best answer I could come up with was to frame the black with white (so it's like a page), and keep the white outlines around the splashes.
I hear ya! I'm still a bit of a novice with it, but I'm getting better. Most of my designs now at work incorporate curves and such so it gets a workout :B
I think that once you figure out how to get it to flow properly, you've pretty much mastered the pen tool. Mind you, that doesn't always mean it'll play nice
win.. win...WIN!
Thanks again Manda!
