Default Smudge/pen tutorial?
Can anyone refer me to a tutorial that shows how to achieve similar smudge/pen effects as seen in the signatures below?

You'll need Illustrator to do most of those effects.



On a side note, talk to Kaz. He knows how to make those kinds of tags.

Ah shucks, I'm not too partial with Illustrator. Yeah, I noticed similar effects that Kaz uses. Maybe I will ask him.

Yea, those are illustrator, but you can do similar things with photoshop.
The easiest way i can tell you quickly is to pen tool the base shape you want, duplicate it and use the transform options to make it smaller and distort it any way you want it and change the color with adjustments and then merge the pen tool shapes on a new layer (and keep the old ones and hide them) and then use the liquify tool to shape them both at the same time.
Do that as many times as you want with as many colors as you want.
And then smudge settings are really just whatever you prefer.
100% strength will give you harder edges and anything lower will cause more blending.

Heres an example of what that looks like.
