Hello everyone, here's the deal:

Does someone know any way to set Pen Tool of Photoshop to behave like in Illustrator? And i mean color filling the already-drawn-part-of-path.

Please check this timelapse - he creates Color Fill layer, pick Pen Tool and start coloring, just as simple as it goes. Most likely he has sort of prepared actions, but maybe some of you can say, what should this action consist of? I desperadly wanna know this method

    Almost there, I forgot I figured out the first part of the question

    But again, about the timelapse, each of his shape layers have the Color Fill + Vecor Shape construction. It allows to easily see, which colour is applied to the particular layer. This is very comforbable, especially when you have tonns of layers

    Shape mode of Pen Tool gives me layer thumbnail like this

    And I want to get this kind of displaying
