How Do You Smudge?

Ever since we started using smudging a lot in signatures i never really got the hang of it and mine always looked like ----e. So, what I'm asking is how do you guys do it? Like what sizes/brushes/strength/brush settings/etc...

 

well i use the 19px hardbrush and just play alittle bit with the settings, than turn the smudgebrush in rounds on the signatures than sharpen it

 

Different brushes and different settings, depending on what I want my outcome to look like. I usually use around a 19px hardbrush (like ravr said) and toy with the setting, I usually use this when going for a background that has a cloud look to it. Otherwise any of the chalk brushes and such with various settings. A lot of people won't give out their exact settings.

 

Well, really, for a good effect I use X brushes, and make a good shape dynamic and seperate them..

I like to max out the jitters, play with the scatter, and choose a "chalky" or "+" brush.
