How to make handdrawn script (font) look like it was done on the computer

[yeaokwali]

Sup guys I have two images here of a script (font) I've hand drawn. I want to know how I'd make it look like it was done on the computer I don't want to change the look of it. Just basically pick one from the lot and make it look clean and high resolution if that makes any sense.



Couple questions: Is this something that's better done in Illustrator vs Photoshop?

I'm assuming this would be as easy as just writing it out with a tablet? If so I really need one lol

yeah a tablet would be a nice option but for example you can draw them with brush, just requires some minute of practice. or write with black tint on a white paper (hard and thick pen is best), scan and select the writing with magic wand tool...

If you get a good black on white, try this quick method that Sir Maximus shared:

There's no way to to do this with what I've currently got? There's got to be a way these programs can do everything literally lol. Couldn't I just magic want tool/select one of these and go from there?

Your colors are so close to each other that it would be difficult to find a tolerance that works properly. But you can try it. What's wrong with redoing it black on white and trying the method I listed above? Of course, if you don't have a tablet, you'll have to scan it in. Otherwise it's drawing with a mouse in PS or Illustrator. Either way, that's not so easy.

not impossible but you will have more troubles achieving good results because of the colors.

Went all the way through the tutorial came out pretty messy If I could clean this up I might be on to something

Why don't you write this with the pen tool then stroke it with a brush?
