Pen Tool
This is the most important tool. With this tool you can create shapes (te clothes shapes) and
when you want to create stripes stretching clothes. After you pick the tool make sure that
at the top it's set on the thing you want, look at the picture at the right.
Before using this tool, create a new layer. When you selected that tool, every time you press on the image you will make a little dot called Anchor Point. To trace the shape or the curve lines hold down the mouse button until get to the wanted shape. To finish the shape the last dot has to stick to the first dot.
When you trace lines (you picked the second option from up there, from the right picture.) Add some dots you need, then click on the right part of you mouse, and pick Stroke Subpath then at Tool pick Brush to use the Brush settings.
Here's some tutorials too:

If you managed to draw, the last step is to save the image as png, here's how you do that:
- Create groups wich contain all the drewn clothe's layers.
- Make a copy of all you have drewn.
- Press on the right part of your mouse on the group that contains the clothe's layers and then pick Go to the Group
- Now you will have one single layer except the group. Press CTRL+A, CTRL+C to copy the layer.
- CTRL+N to create a new image on the Backround Contents pick Transparent and press OK.
- CTRL+V To stick the drewn clothe in a diffrent image (so you can escape from blank zones).
- CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S pick PGN-24 and click save.
