Can I use CSS to distort borders so they look like sketched?
2
I have bordered boxes (div) which I want to make look like a sketch, i.e. with the borders not drawn as straight lines, but slightly distorted, as if drawn by hand.
Illustration:
Can this be done using CSS transformation or similar?

You can use CSS Border Images.
Here is an example on w3schools website.
And here's a code example:
#borderimg {
/* You can also use border-top or border-bottom to target the side you want affected */
border: 10px solid transparent;
padding: 15px;
-webkit-border-image: url(border.png) 50 round; /* Safari 3.1-5 */
-o-border-image: url(border.png) 50 round; /* Opera 11-12.1 */
border-image: url(border.png) 50 round;
}

This article on hand-drawn borders gives a great example of achieving this effect on buttons using only CSS by using large elliptical rounded corners (through the CSS border-radius property). It probably won't work as well for large div elements.
Example adapted from the article:
button {
background:transparent;
padding:0.5rem 0.5rem;
margin:0 0.5rem;
font-size:1rem;
border-top-left-radius: 255px 15px;
border-top-right-radius: 15px 225px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 225px 15px;
border-bottom-left-radius:15px 255px;
}
button:hover{
box-shadow:2px 8px 4px -6px hsla(0,0%,0%,.3);
}
button.lined.thick{
border:solid 3px #41403E;
}
button.dotted.thick{
border:dotted 3px #41403E;
}
button.dashed.thick{
border:dashed 3px #41403E;
}
button.lined.thin{
border:solid 2px #41403E;

button.dotted.thin{
border:dotted 2px #41403E;

button.dashed.thin{
border:dashed 2px #41403E;
