Well i tried almost 20 settings of my own but never seemed to find the right one.

I am really in need of your help to give me a good Smudge setting for photoshop.


Thank you in advance .

Well, you have to be a bit more specific about what effect you're trying to achieve if you want precise settings.
I use different brushes in combination with the Smudge-Tool and usually a low opacity (around 5% to max. 30%) for most of my works.

Note that you can modify each brush-setting to e.g. create random / complex effects. I especially love to use a modified chalk-brush - one of my first tutorials on digital illustration features some examples and the detailed settings - if you're interested, you can download it here: http://www.madpotato.de/Tutorials (issue #02/08 - Digital Illustration With Adobe Photoshop - http://www.madpotato.de/data/tutorials/ … torial.pdf)

I find using a splatter brush, no settings and at a high strength can make some interesting results.

Look for a splatter brush with lots of bits coming off of it. Use the main bulk of the brush first, then add detail using the smaller parts of the brush.

Sorry, those instructions are terrible
