For all the people who dont know how to use the pen tool properly.

Part 1: Chosing your brush

Choose a brush that is 3-5px for the best result, or use different types of brushes for different results - i'll let you pick!
But on this tutorial, im using a 5px brush

Part 2: creating the line

1) Open a new document, doesnt matter whiche size, as long as it isnt too small, anything will do.

2) Choose the pen tool user posted image

3) At the top you should have loads of stuff to choose out of - choose these
