Posted on January 16th, 2011. Written by JaspervD.

In this video tutorial I will take you through creating the following signature. I will teach you how to use the smudge tool to create a great looking background without much effort.

Contributor only download

As a contributor you can download the .psd file of the signature above!

It is fully labeled as you can see in the preview, this way you can exactly see what I did when creating the signature, even steps that I didn’t explain in the tutorial.

Never again you will get stuck because you don’t understand something in the tutorial, just take a look inside the .psd file and boost your signature making skills with new technique’s and ideas!
