I am a Pen Tool n00b.

I have been wanting to get better at everything vectors in Photoshop and Illustrator, but it's always seemed like such a daunting task.  I had some time today to practice, so I am starting out with line traces of photos.  I found a photo of Anna Paquin as Rogue and got to work.  It didn't take me long at all to find out that OH MY GOD I AM HORRIBLE AT THE PEN TOOL.  I know all it takes is practice and after several hours, I produced this.  I am pretty happy with it as it doesn't look like COMPLETE ass, but I need to improve very.  I'd like to get to the point where I can make color vectors of full photos, but I am far away from any kind of achievement like that.  I did succeed at making an image that is very 1989, so at least there's that.
