"Old book" filter ? - schnupulukulu - 12-14-2019

Hi there !

I'd like to replicate the contour of old letters in old books, such as in this font

Is it possible to apply that to a line or an icon ?


Thank you very much for your time !

- select / select by color
- select / to path

- make a new transparent layer
- make this layer active
- paintbrush tool
- choose a brush (try Acylic 05 / size 10 / spacing 12 / Dynamics Random)

Use different brush, different spacing, etc... for satisfactory results
