Magic Marker Effect

Sometimes you'll want to make your text look like it was written with a marker on real paper (or some other surface), and the fonts that look like handwriting are not accurate enough for you. Fortunately, Photoshop has a few tools that will help give your text a nice, somewhat distressed inky effect for a realistic 'marker' effect.

You can get some handwriting fonts here that you can use to follow along with and create your own samples. Just remember that you'll want to choose one that isn't too choppy or blocky for a better end result.

I've included a jpeg as an attachement on the last page of this tutorial. If you simply can't wait to see what the output will be - it should look something like the photograph included with this tutorial.
