The bezier game is awesome and easy. you dont want  you play along and you can practice as much as you like

very very worth while.

Thank you for the link. This is enlightening. I've been meaning to learn the pen tool for quite some time now.

I have been sitting for a while working thru some tuts on the Pen Tool - If I find one that I think is best I will post it here. I have watched a lot of crap so far..

Thanks, I'd appreciate that.
I can't quite get it to curve around some objects as precisely as I know it is capable.

Some of the stages in the bezier game can be done with half as many control points as it takes me to make it work.

Dont stress about the steps they show in Bezier - it's a game and I am only concerned about getting it right - speed comes later.
I am learning bits from different videos
 
This one steps I learned here makes sense
