Creating brush strokes

chipster123

Does anyone have any idea how to create a brush stroke effect in Gideros like the way the chalk lines are shown in this famous game (at the 15 second mark) ?
Here it shows chalk, but I'd like to create crayon, marker, etc. too.

Quick & dirty (i.e., lots of imperfections), but:
To draw the chalk, I added a randomly selected chalk particle pattern (with corresponding box2d circles) to the scene each mouse event w/ a timer to remove them. Seems like a big hack ... is there a better way?

I think the choice of box2d circles was a poor one ... an edge shape would have been better.
