I used the pen tool, mostly because I'm familiar with it from using it on inDesign. I used the inner glow effect. Ha! To me I really don't look like I'm in that place, but when my parents walked in and saw the picture as I was working on it, they thought it was a photo! ;)
I really like the pen tool because of my previous experiences with it, and because of the precision it gives me. Previously, when I tried to make a background transparent and I didn't know how, I'd do it literally pixel by pixel. I like precision and sometimes I get sucked into the littlest details (which often isn't worth the time I put into it) and the pen tool is a wonderful way to do it efficiently. Also, I like how it doesn't matter what the background looks like. My eyes see boundaries better than the computer does ;) Thanks!
