By Kasy_05

Ok this is going to be easy or hard.. i dont know really.. but im going to teach how to make a sig... a pro sig, so if you are a noob you will learn a lot of things:

Ok first open a new document.. mine will be of 400x150 pxls With transparent background.
Press D to reset colors..Here are different options:
1.- Go to filter > render > Clouds
2.- Edit > Fill... and choose color white

Make a new layer.. and choose the color white for the brush
