Description
Small pencil handwriting brushes for Photoshop 7 (should work with earlier versions as well).138 different brushes all together.
Includes the most important letters/symbols in the extended latin alphabet i think, and some more...
All brushes are in 600 ppi resolution.
Add a little realism:Pencil: Don't use 100% black (try adjusting opacity on the layer to something like 80+%).
Paper: Not always 100% white. Use som light grey or yellow (really soft).
//// Other brushes by me:

www.deviantart.com/deviation/1… - Stick figure war brushes
www.deviantart.com/deviation/5… - Burnt paper brushes

This brushset is free for both personal and non-commercial use. Oh, and if someone wants to make a font out of this, that would be awesome.

The best would be to actually write it on clean white paper and scan it. Then in photoshop adjust white point to just "clip" the paper, and set blending to multiply.
That would give you extremely realistic results
Otherwise it depends a bit on if it should look like it was written with a pen/pencil/marker etc. For pencil lead I might recommend a dark grey, high opacity. Also try multiply blending mode (especially for markers/paint).
You will have to experiment; it depends on many factors (paper texture, paper tint, type of pencil/pen, etc.). It might be useful to find a reference (e.g. something scanned) and play around to get it to match as closely as possible.
It's also hard to find a very realistic hand writing font.
