I am trying to learn to make a 3D book icon from
THIS TUTORIAL but the problem is that it isn't very newbie friendly. There seems to be the usage of the pen tool which I cannot understand how to use. Can someone direct me to a very newbie friendly explanation/tutorial on how to use the pen tool for Photoshop CS5 Extended? Specifically how to draw curved shapes like in step #6 in the above tutorial? Thank you!
