: How to add a small amount of local noise to a path in illustrator? I'm trying to recreate the xkcd look. Is there a way I can take a path and apply an effect that makes it look like this?

I've tried using Effect | Distort & Transform | Roughen but haven't been able to match that look (the uneven twists in different directions, at random intervals).

Using "Effect | Distort & Transform | Roughen" gives some nice results when using absolute transformations with low values:

You can also achieve the effect with brushes often found when searching for "Lineart Brushes" or " Ink sketch brushes" which might be a simpler way to do it as you can just apply the brush to your paths.
