Open up your version of adobe photoshop I’m using 7. Look at your layers window. Do you see the word path? If not go to window path and check it.

Now open up a canvas. 500 pixels by 500 pixels will work. Then click the path tab and click the new layer button. Click back on to the layers tab.

Find the pen tool.

Make three clicks with the pen tool.

After this go to your pen tool and change it to the converter point tool.

Click on the anchors (the little boxes that show where your clicks are.) and drag up down whatever way. The first click will keep the curve even. But once you let go it allows the little lines that come off the anchor to move freely.

First click

Free move

If you mess up just go and click the box again and it’ll go back to the way you started.

Now click the brush tool. Change the size to nine or something. Click the pen tool again. Hover over your canvas. Right click and hit stroke path.

You’ll get this box set it up like I have it and click ok.

Go back to the path layers click off the layer and you get this.

If you don’t want the pointed endings then just don’t check simulate presser. It’ll just be a normal ending to the brush. That’s good for line art.
