Dry Brush Stroke Help

[Nick Wilson]

Hey,
I am designing a logo for a band and am looking for a way to get a semi-realistic looking brush stroke effect.

I have the paths made for where I would like the strokes to go, but have not found a satisfactory method of creating the actual strokes.
To be clear I have downloaded photoshop brushes that have the texture I am looking for, but when I draw on a tablet using them, or apply them to a path, they really just get smeared and lose a lot of the texturing I need for this.

The text from the game Okami is a great example of the sort of effect I am looking for.

Here is the band's previous logo (with the sort of brush stroke effect they are looking for):


In other words, is there any way to stretch/distort a single brush image such as this (but along set paths):

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello Nick and welcome to PSG.

As far as I know, applying a brushstroke to a path can only be done in Ps with very limited results.



Same brush set at a different angle.


You can use the Liquify Filter on a single brush stroke to shape it the way you want.
Original.


Altered


I know that this can be done in Illustrator.
