There are most definitely many different ways of achieving that effect. Personally I would try creating multiple layers of "smoke". Let's try and find some tutorials for this! Simply searching psd.tutsplus.com for 'smoke' and 'ink in water' turns up a lot of relevant tutorials. Here is one that should help you get there (digital smoke): ...

Go to brush panel, Select Shape Dynamics, Select Fade as the Control type of Size Jitter.By increasing the length of the Fade you can control the how quickly it transitions from thickest to thinnest point. Having this approximate the length of the line you are stroking will likely yield best results. Additionally the Minimum Diameter can be set to ensure ...

The typical look of permanent markers comes from the change in pressure, fading, streaks and bleed (from turns and slower streaks). This is hard to recreate in an authentic way and often simply done on paper and then scanned. Pages full of different strokes and attempts are not uncommon and actually not that time-consuming. My guess is you want to have a ...

Step by step, assuming you have used Photoshop: Create a new layer, and draw an irregular line using the brush tool. Zoom in and play with the line's opacity (you can delete or opaque certain parts), apply some smudge and also some shadows using blending styles. Alternative, you can use a crack brush such as this one: The 'making it realistic' part ...

Layer styles alter the entire layer. If you do not want layer styles applied while painting, paint on a new layer without any layer styles applied to the layer. EDIT: Layers have internal structures. When you create an element such as type, a shape, vector object, or a brush stroke you start at the level closes to the canvas. Lets call this the painting ...

I think there are 2 questions here... 1 : Yes you can create scalable brushes in Photoshop within the "Brush" pallet. 2 : All raster images will blur when scaled to a size bigger than they were created at. If you want to ensure this does not happen you are best to create your image as a vector graphic in an application such as Illustrator. Hope this ...

Make a straight square brush. Then in the Brush Panel, rotate the brush how you want it. You can do this, then save a Brush Preset which will remember the angle. So, with one straight square brush, you could create 90 different presets based purely on the angle of the square. *90 presets because opposing angle would all look the same. 360/4 = angles ...

The best way I know to do this is via DrawScribe, a plug in from www.astutegraphics.com. While you can use the Width Tool within Illustrator to manually adjust, add, or remove, width markers you have to do this on a one-at-a-time basis which can chew up time. Drawscribe allows you to draw path, then alter it's setting via commands after it's drawn. I'd ...

I think part of the problem might be, it looks like you're trying to recreate several effects with just one brush. Looking at your friend's sketch, there are dark blue scribble lines, turquoise scribble lines (might be a quirk of the colouring pencil used, or might be two different pencils), and a smudge that in some places stops smoothly, in others, stops ...

You could probably use something like this as your brush and then lower the flow of the brush down to around 50% and paint.

Every second corner will not line up nicely because your Side Tile has alternating positions (the line "entering" the left side is lower than the line "exiting" the right side), but your Outer Corner Tile has 2 lines who are equidistant from the inner corner. They key is to take measurements of your "entrance/exit" points and make sure they match the ...

I dont know whether it is useful or not for you but its response to your comment. Customizing brushes Active thread on adobe official site How to "harden" a custom brush?

You can do a little softening of the edge of a custom brush if you take a regular Soft round brush and then go to brushes window (F5) and set Dual brush and there select your custom brush. ( ..and possibly adjust some settings there.. ) At best it's sort of like the effect you're looking for. I think the easiest way to look at this is that custom brushes ...

The closest you can get is to use a soft-edged image to create the brush. As you've seen, they are basically vector shapes, but a custom brush retains opacity information as a function of the saturation of the original pixel image used to create it. If you start with a soft-edge shape, you'll have a soft-edge custom brush.
