Lesson 4

In this lesson, we will see how to add a cutout in the vector shape.  This will allow you to create a wider variety of shapes. Depending on the program you use, the process will be different.
Remember that it takes practice. If you feel a little confused, take a break, and come back to it. Re-watch, and take things one step at a time.

For PaintShop Pro users

Practice
Download this zip file including various coffee cup shapes. You will have to select one, trace it with the Pen tool, along with a cutout for the handle, and show us your result. If you want to export and share your preset shape, you can do that too.

DON'T PANIC! I still need to remember the mnemonic to perform that cutout step, so write it on a post-it note in front of you if you need to.

Show us your result in the forum. Just resize it to 600 pixels first if you worked on something larger.
