Thank you for the video! Question - With the pen tool, how do I add a line with another line so that I can fill an area with color?

After I ungroup, an I hover over the anchor point, there is no "minus" sign to delete the anchor. If I try and click on the anchor, it moves the picture itself. I cannot get the anchor points to delete. help!

The problem with this approach is that it would be easier and faster to have made the paths in photoshop or illustrator to begin with, rather than trying to vamp some rasterized art online. Even with vamped art, just bring it into photoshop and outline with the paths tool, and you're done. Export to AI and go.
