Below is a shape which I have enlarged by 300%:

Although I have a lot of experience in Photoshop, I am posting in the newbie forum because I appreciate this is a newbie question lol. I'm not new to the pen tool, I know how to use it for a lot of shapes but this one troubles me. I wish to draw round the shape with the pen tool but cannot quite get there. I can successfully outline the outer part of the shape with good accuracy but I am not sure where to place the anchor points on the inner part of the shape (the curve and the straight lines). Can this curve all be done with 2 anchors points or would more be needed? . I have tried for quite some time now and cannot do it.

Would it be possible for someone to draw the anchors points on the image for me and upload it? Thanks

You may want to bring anchors in just a bit more

I was trying to judge best place and skipped a backup on that one, it took a couple of try s
