Photoshop help Thread

Im making a menu in photoshop and I want to make it look like I drew on a paper with a pencil realistically, how would I make realistic pencil marks? Or at least close to realistic? At least like this:

Flashtronauts.com

custom font or handwritten via tablet

Tablet, plus a good tool/brush preset (I like Nkurence.com)

If you have a scanner, you can save your self some time and quite literally draw on a piece of paper; scan it in, apply some light brush work to get some grunge.

Can crinkly the paper for an automatic wrinkle effect too.

Do you know if it would work with CS5 because thats the one I have. It says its for CS4 bit I wasnt sure if its backwards compatible or something. Or if theres another good tool/brush set that works with CS5?

I've only tried it with CS4, but I think it should still work. Chances are it'd be harder to get it to work with CS3 than CS5.
I also use Zhuzhu.deviantart.com, you might find a more natural brush in there that works well.

You can download awesome fonts on dafont.com or buy Bamboo pad (Wacom.com) so you can draw very realisticly using bamboo and new realistic brushes that are included in latest photoshop cs5.

NKS3 is CS4-compatible only. I've just ported it to CS5, however.

You can grab it here:

Oh sweet, thanks for the update.
