For your project, you will create either one illustration of mushrooms (or another subject of your choice) using all three different techniques, or several illustrations to be able to compare them:
- the Gaussian Blur effect
- the Bloom effect
- the Light Brushes
and if you'd like you can do the bonus 'glassy glow' effect, by combining both the Light Pen and Gaussian Blur!
(If you feel like applying this glowing effect to a completely different illustration after having competed the project, I'd love to see it so please feel free to ALSO share it in the Project section.)

Please share your illustrations in the project section and also give some love to your fellow students so we can keep rooting for each other! You can also share your drawings on Instagram using the hashtag #makeitglowwithmarienoelle and tag me @marienoellewurm so I can see it! We can of course become friends over there, or we can connect on Patreon in a smaller setting where I host live drawing sessions & exclusive sketchbook tours.
I can't wait to see what you make! :)
