This video shows the basics of the pen tool and how it can be used. Warning: This is only the basics and does not touch on the more complex functions.
Video notes:
This was a challenge from James over at Pulse GFX. Was also produce very quickly with little planning so please forgive me for the lack of professionalism.

I always read your blog in high spirits. Thanks :)
I be the person he mentions in the screencast, send me your love xD
Wow 6 months on and this post got over 23,000 views. I don't think even Mr Fire G himself expected that :p
@James: Really didn't! figured it get a few views by 23.3 thousand was way beyond my expectations.
