We assume that to have drawn a vector....
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\tikz\draw[->,line width=1pt] (0,0) -- (1,1);
\end{document}
Is there a pencil effect with TikZ as the picture below?

3It can be done here it is not called "pencil effect", but "chalkboard texture": https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/334341/chalkboard-texture-for-tikz-lines – hpekristiansen Aug 22 '20 at 22:13

Do you need an raster image or a vector image? – s.ouchene Aug 22 '20 at 22:13

@hpekristiansen Looks more like chalk than pencil to me. – Sebastiano Aug 22 '20 at 22:15
-
For me it looks exactly like your picture. – hpekristiansen Aug 22 '20 at 22:17

@Navaro Neither. It was just to see if there was an effect similar to a porous red pencil used in textures. – Sebastiano Aug 22 '20 at 22:17

@hpekristiansen In all honesty I've seen the other options and I don't like them. Anyway, after three years there are simple options and not galactic codes? :-) – Sebastiano Aug 22 '20 at 22:19

You could use inkscape filters: use tex Text extension to insert the tikz script to create the arrow, save to inkscape, and apply filters. – s.ouchene Aug 22 '20 at 22:32

1Does this question answer your problem? Chalkboard texture for tikz lines – AndréC Aug 23 '20 at 05:17

@AndréC 50% yes and 50 % no..also for a long code...I prefer short code if and when it is possible. – Sebastiano Aug 23 '20 at 09:49

@Navaro Thank you very much for your suggestions on InkScape.... – Sebastiano Aug 23 '20 at 09:50

Follow-up idea, how to use xkcd (https://xkcd.com/) style? – hola Sep 12 '20 at 19:09

@xxx--- What is this link? 8-) – Sebastiano Sep 12 '20 at 19:10

1@Sebastiano xkcd is this comic strip website, often containing jokes about research life. Matplotlib has xkcd support (https://matplotlib.org/3.1.1/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.xkcd.html). It'll cool to have it in Tikz or other Latex packages. – hola Sep 12 '20 at 19:14

@xxx--- Ah, now I have understood...my english language and comprension often it is not very good. :-( – Sebastiano Sep 12 '20 at 19:19
