Sketchy style needed

Edson

i was hoping to find among the sketchy styles that ship with SUp one that would resemble a drawing finely drawn with a sharp but soft graphite pencil whose lines would go past each other at the ends. just a black on white affair. no luck. the styles available are not to my liking and unfortunately i do not have the time to create one.

would anyone out there have something like that to share?

note: before anyone tells me so, i am aware of the fact that form fonts sell marvellous styles. however, the only way to buy them is through a yearly subscription. i would gladly pay for some of their products should they be available individually or in groups.

Have you not found anything already shared in our styles subforum?

Edson

gai,

there is a style there that seems to be it: RMFF_Pencil.style. however, when i download it it reaches me as a quicktime file(!!!). could you download it and send it to me attached to a PM?

there is also one by ivica, but i do know exactly what to do with the contents of that zip file. what do i put where?

thanks.

Edson,
I would reccomend you visit:
http://www.formfonts.com/
You'll have to take out a subscription but it's well worth it.

Some really good sketchy styles

Hope this helps

Edson,

I added the style file as a zip file to Ross' post here.
Just rename the .zip extension to .style and use it (style format is actually a zip file). I can also email it just want to make sure the system works.

Edson

it worked, gai!! thanks again.

And remember you can give Style builder a go.

I made a personnal style with long soft lines, which is very near straight lines but with a light diffeent touch, if you like I send it to you.
I have seen one made with jagged lines, very sketchy and interesting .

Style builder is very intuitive and simple
