Arthena, I use the pen tool in photoshop plenty exactly because my hand isn't that steady and it helps me draw curves that are much nicer then they would be if I were trying to make them freehand with the paintbrush. Once the path is drawn, I have the possibility to move the anchor points and play with them or add or delete them if I want to so that the lines and curves I want to make are really nice and exactly where I want them to be before I stroke the path. What I said wasn't meant as an insult and in no way means that if you use the pen tool, you don't have a steady hand, it only means that the pen tool sure helps those who don't have a steady hand to make nicer curves and precise drawings.
