[Photoshop] Marker Drawings on Skin?

Question

Hi, does anyone have a tut on how to have the effect of drawing in permanent marker onto someone's skin? ie. Someone's name on a photo of an arm.

Answer 1

Go to dafont.com - download and install a font that looks like marker pen. Type what you want it to say, use the transform tool (ctrl T) to angle it correctly on the arm and then take the layer transparency down a bit. It shouldn't take much more than that since markers wouldn't have depth or texture. You could rasterize the layer and use liquify to distort it to match the shape/form of the arm if it's big enough to wrap around the arm.
