Rough it in. Smooth it out.

Sketch the lettering with a basic brush, then dial it in on a fresh layer. Increase the Smoothness option to create flowing curves.

Get messy with brushes.

Use dynamic brushes inspired by real-world materials. Doodle on details with a gritty pencil or add a splash of colour with realistic spray paint and watercolour.

Add dimensional effects.

Layer on effects to give the paint a 3D feel, emboss the lettering and make it stand out with a drop shadow.
